From our Honorary Secretary,  David Woollatt:

 

Life sometimes offers up amazing moments of serendipity and connection.

 

Whilst chatting with Mr Malcolm Barton, the former Headmaster of Sandle Manor Prep School (now Forres Sandle Manor in Fordingbridge), our Honorary Secretary discovered a fascinating link to Rousdon history. Mr Barton's grandfather, Theodore Wood, was the Peek's Vicar for the Rousdon Parish in the early 1900s before becoming the Bishop of Peterborough in 1916. He and his family lived at the Dower House.

 

Malcolm shared these fabulous family photographs. Here Theodore is pictured (third from right). We were also given this wonderful photograph of Malcolm's Great Uncle Bill behind the wheel of the Vicar's car—one of the few vehicles in the area at the time.

Thank you, Malcolm, for these wonderful insights into the Peek's Rousdon Estate.

 

We will be sharing more photographs in the 2024 OH Magazine.

It was wonderful to catch up with Mr Nigel Bean, who recently joined us from his home in Brisbane!

 

 

Nigel started at Allhallows in September 1995, teaching English and History while playing a major role in our sports tuition and the sports hall team. In this introductory segment, we hear about his career journey from sport to education, and his early days at the school.

Thank you, Nigel, for sharing such a fantastic insight into teaching at Allhallows!

 

We will be sharing more from this interview soon. Please do keep checking back to our official Facebook and YouTube pages.
