How many of your 'letters home' will survive to be sold on eBay in the next century?! :-

Charles Lynam, writer of the letter, went on to a notable career as an architect (and archaeologist, magistrate, alderman and mayor) in Stoke-on-Trent, living into his nineties.

That's interesting, Rex - also that he also lived his adult life in Stoke. I wonder if it's worth suggesting that someone from the Museum bids on this letter.....?

Thanks.. I just spotted that and put it up on the Hertford Memories thread. I can't remember where in the school we would have had such a piece of furniture.
Maybe in the Art School, or the Geography Room?
ON THE OTHER HAND.... maybe it came from the Chapel?
Any ideas, fellow Hertford Old Blues?

I can't think where it could have been either

On the Hertford thread, Barbara suggests maybe the Wardrobe Room in one of the Houses.
My recollection of the Wardrobe Room, however, is 'darker' than pine...

It wasn't in the chapel, my thoughts are Art School, if you read the description it says that the paint (blue) has been removed so unlikely to be wardrobe rooms.

I read it that the brass handles had been painted blue....whoops!

Managed to nab a cd from 98 off there the other day - Christmas Carols sound SO GOOD with the Chapel organ!

As does anything else, of course.

I was singing in that one...

wasn't with the Chapel Organ though I believe - I'm sure we recorded that one in Hove Parish Church...

I think you're right, if it's the one with Tim Vincent-Smith singing one of the verses of In The Bleak Midwinter (Harold Darke arrangement)?
I was also singing for that CD, even though it was a few years after I left. Peter Allwood was looking for a couple of extra tenors, and hence I got an invitation - was great fun, and I loved singing with the chapel choir again.

Ah, that was the first Christmas CD I did - again in Hove...

I was a treble then!!
