Uncovering a Piece of Old Honitonian History
It’s wonderful what sometimes turns up in the post.
Our deepest thanks must go to writer and researcher Edward Armston-Sheret, who was in touch with the club last year while researching a book on the Scott of the Antarctic expeditions. O.H. Cyril Longhurst (1878–1948) was instrumental in those early expeditions with Scott (as Secretary of the National Antarctic Expeditions in 1902). Longhurst also played a key role in establishing the Old Honitonians Club in the early 20th century.
Edward sent this to us - Longhurst's Allhallows Register and Record (1857 - 1907), and we look forward to sharing an amazing letter from Longhurst shortly…
