Re: IICSA - Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

Not quite true There are two further phases of IICSA in this particular part of the inquiry. They can choose not to cover a specific case study. However, if a significant number of persons has requested this should happen of a particular institution they can be held in contempt of the rules of the ...

Re: IICSA - Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

In order to manage expectations, I think I should point out that Phase 2 of this investigation by the Inquiry is thematic/issues based. This means that there will not be individual investigations/ case studies of further institutions, unlike in Phase I. However, it is likely that CH has, rather than...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

Did the question of lack of control crop up at any other times in your career beyond the rugby match incident? "Vilified" isn't on trial here you know, I think this barrack-room lawyering has the potential to drive away a source of interesting historical perspective who voluntarily signed...

Re: CH in this week's Economist magazine re sex scandal in 1815

The link above works You need to suscribe and pay the dues to read the full article... Suffice to say, Sir Eyre Coote MP was caricatured by Cruikshank for paying older boys in the Mathematical School for a session of mutual flagellation in 1815; and being caught by the school nurse. https://images....

Re: frieze in dayroom of infirmary

Page93 of Ken Mansell's "C H in the Victorian era " gives a map diagram of the Buildings of CH from 1902 which shows the Infirmary in the same shade of colouring as the House Blocks and other main buildings. No doubt he will be able to confirm this. It also shows the site of the Sanatoriu...

Re: NEW BOOK - OLD BLUES WHO DIED IN WW2

My daughter's governor on behalf of the BSB, Doreen Martin, had a son who was a pupil at CH but died suddenly during the school holidays of an undetected heart defect - he certainly had a plaque; I cannot remember his name (possibly Clive, or perhaps Clive was his father?) I have come across your p...

Re: Morbid, but...

Having just come across this thread, it reminds me of another unnamed-so-far and un-plaqued pupil who passed away during his time at CH. His name was Clive Martin (known as 'CR'). He died during the summer holidays in 1976 after completing his first year in the 2nd Form in LHA. Like so many in this ...

Re: Lamb House Photos

If I remember correctly, this photo was taken in 1977. I'm guessing it's more likely to be Summer 1976 as the Cresswell twins and others who were in Grecians in 78/79 (the year I entered La B) are sitting on the ground in the front row in the photo implying that they'd be the most junior year of th...

As slight digression to tower-moving - I was a 2nd former at the time of the official opening (or was it the RIBA award cermony?) made in late 1975. In the presence of the Princess Alice. I remember quite clearly that this involved "live" tower movement and to my dismay, as a member of the...
