Headmaster's House - Early 1940s
There is some doubt as to exactly when this photo was taken. Cynthia McCrae (née Astley) says that Capt Nicholson (Headmaster 1925-1937)
and his wife Evelyn never occupied the house. So it's first occupants were Bernard & Barbara Astley, and Cynthia remembers
that it was her mother who planted the trees and hedges near the house after they took up residence at the end of 1937.
Barbara Astley (who at the time of writing - 28th Nov 2005 - is still alive and living in the U.K.) was also responsible
for planting and nurturing many of the trees and hedges in the School grounds.
