It Their school , St. Mary's , is the second oldest in Maritzburg . was founded in 1853 , four years after the Boys ' Model School , and was well established by the time that the two regiments now adopted by St. Mary's - the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Ninth Queen's Royal Lancers were garrisoned here .
