Also, you'll notice that the title page shows GB's name as Headmaster, and this is pasted over the previous partnership he had with Mr Bassett!
An additional eye-opener is the term fee of £85. This means that there was an annual income of around £19,000 from around seventy-five boys which doesn't seem much considering there was a staff complement of around fifteen or so, and we were all fed and taught for that! There were also quite a lot of repairs needed on the building when I joined. I can also remember seeing large numbers painted in red in alcoves around the place. I think someone said that they marked some sort of muster stations from when the house was used during the war!
