Later he also attended the King Edward VI Grammar School in Totnes, South Devon but due to his poor health, he returned home and was educated by private tutors. Later still, he attended the small Holmwood academy in Enfield, Middlesex. The academy had a library and there Babbage’s love of mathematics blossomed. At the age of about 16 or 17, Babbage went back to Totnes to study and also had a tutor from Oxford. It was under this tutor that he learnt the Classics so that he could be admitted to Cambridge.
