That was just a few years before our time. My dad worked there between 1986 and 1987. We lived in a flat that joined on to the main boarding school building. I remember DV 😊
Thank you. Wicken Park was delightful. I don’t think that I have been happier. From 1983 - 4, I remember, in no particular order, Tom Gold, Edward Penney, Jocelyn MacGillycuddy, Abdul Assaf, Anil and Ravi Hernani, Andrew Stevenson, Jason Westbrook (later at Stowe with his brother Pete), Vere Nicholl, Ryan and Charles Mear (went to Kimbolton), Adrian Cordell (went to Bradfield), Pat Cowan (went to Bury Lawn), Simon Dyer (went to Bedford), Jeremy Robinson (went to Rugby), William Shorten, Kevin Cross, William Russell, Kee Ju Ven and Clive Galway. Happy to be contacted on Linked In.
Plus Hugh Gage (went to Repton), Mark Spiller, Nikos Yiannakou (joined his brother Marios at Stowe, Grafton), Simon and Mark Smith (went to Stowe, Cobham) and Paul Maisey. Wednesday afternoon trips to Wicken for tuck was fun. Some of us ventured to Deanshanger and, at night, Wicken church, via the boot room entrance.
Plus Philip Wegener, Ayo Odiah, Alex Howard, Chris Bradbury, Eric Irving, James Clarkson and Ben Reeder. That sounds like most of the school. Apparently, the estate was owned for some decades by the Earls Spencer (family of Princess Diana) and then sold soon after WW2 to a City investment fund.
Barrat Landale, Philip Wathen and Jonathan Appleby. The years just fell away!
