The following is an extract from an article titled 'A short history of the Lady Day schools' by Jeff Rowley; it appears in All Hallows' Church's 90th anniversary booklet.
One thing I well remember when at that school was that on the walls of the long corridor of the then Senior School were the names of boys who had made "the supreme sacrifice" during the 1914-18 War...these were all dutifully stencilled on the wall in gold lettering, the work of Jesse Gray [the then headmaster and a Great War veteran].
One of the first things the new headmaster (Mr. Aske) did was to paint the whole wall and completely obliterate the names.
There's no memorial in All Hallows Church but was there a plaque or roll of honour in the now-closed Methodist Church?
