Re: Memorable Sermons

The chaplain many will remember from Hertford days was the Rev Walker but even more may remember a sermon preached by his elderly father, in which he thumped the pulpit and said 'It made my boil blood'. Naturally we laughed, or more probably, sniggered and ended up being upbraided in many school les...

Re: Old Blue Scientists???

I believe that the chemistry lab at Hertford went to the Science museum when the girls moved to Horsham. We were always told this was because of its importance as the first Science lab for girls in the UK. I don't believe it has ever been on display but is/was located in the basement at the mueum.

Sadly, Lucy did not win but is, of course, continuing to raise funds to support her orphans. She has set up a Just Giving page so you may wish to send her a Christmas gift for her charity.

Re: C.H. CAPE PHOTO WANTED

I was interested to read these posts but if the photos are to go into an official book about CH uniform may I point out that a cape is a short, sleeveless outer garment while what was made for the girls was a cloak ie a long, usually sleeveless outer garment. I remember a meeting at Hertford just be...
