Vanbrugh Castle School

The Vanbrugh Chronicle

Foreword

A series of misfortunes last Easier made an edition of this Chronicle impossible, so we are issuing a much larger one this term in case our friends should believe that we have lost interest or become the victims of industrial unrest. Your editor has been forced to cut up and re-make some of the material offered in order to cut down costs, but the magazine still goes out free, thanks to the generosity of those many supporters who contribute to the School's Amenities Fund.

The Staff

We are sorry to be losing two of our resident teachers this term. Miss Karin Usher will be married shortly and Mr. Christopher Dyer is returning to University for a year. We wish them every happiness and good fortune, and thank them for their loyal efforts in the past year. They are being replaced by Miss Rosemary Darke and Mr. David Bouteloup.

THE VISIT OF PRINCESS ALEXANDRA

On the 19th February twelve boys were invited to meet Princess Alexandra at the Greenwich during the interval of Caryl Brahm's new play "Sing a Rude Song".

We arrived at the theatre at 8.40 to find that nobody knew about our visit. The Theatre Manager calmed us down with large drinks of orange­ade until the Princess suddenly appeared at a door only a few feet away from us. She seemed surprised and asked us who we were. We told her and had a jolly talk together. She was so friendly that I don't think many of us remembered to say "Ma'am"! We fear she may have spent a little too long with us for a small party of Aldermen, pop singers and Bishops glared at us with no affection.

We would like to thank the people who invited us out for this evening, and provided the orangeade.

THE HOLE by P. Butler.

In the middle of the Castle lawn, as you know, there is the flag pole. Alistair Smith, our Assistant Handyman, was digging up the turf a few feet on the north side of this a few weeks ago, when he fell through a hole up to his waist. Next day Mr. Tappenden and he took the earth away and found a bricked-in well about four feet in diameter and thirty feet deep. There was about two feet of clean water at the bottom. The Surveyor thinks it is an old cess-pit, but it is also possibly a well. One or two experts have looked at it but nobody has yet decided whether it was built by Vanbrugh, before his time, or after. We are going to leave it in its present open condition until we find out more about it. It is not dangerous.

NOTE BY HEADMASTER

I hunted about in the local library and found an old newspaper cutting that mentioned Vanbrugh Castle as a place of local interest and stated that in front of the imposing edifice stood an old circular well-house, close to a large oak tree.
It seems that this must refer to the well that we have discovered. The stump of the oak still remains. The biology class examined the water and found that it was pure.
The metal and wooden remains we discovered at the bottom are probably relics of the well-house that stood above the site. One peculiar feature is an alcove built into the walls about ten feet from the surface and we wonder whether this once housed a pump.
The newspaper cutting was undated, but the type suggests a date in the early 19th Century. I am sorry that the local archeologists, who have been informed, have taken no interest in the discovery, and that we may have to fill it all in.

EXTRACT FROM "THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGES, CAVERNS, ETC., OF GREENWICH AND BLACKHEATH": A Lecture delivered by John M.Stone,M.A., President of the Greenwich Antiquarian Society on 26th Feb. 1914.

" The Maidstone Journal for the 26th January, 1847 gives an account of the affair. At the time Mr. Henry Aldwin Soames was in occupation of the house which formerly stood on the east side of Vanbrugh Castle. The site is now occupied by the house and grounds known as "The Cedars".

Difficulties arose in the household by reason of curious noises that were heard in the lower parts of the house, and to add to the mystery smoke used to issue from somewhere and penetrate into the kitchen, when there was no fire in the house from which it could come. The servants all gave notice to leave, as they were sure the house was haunted.

Matters came to a climax when one night the cook heard heavy knockings coming from one of the cellars. Constables were called in and the premises explored. They examined the entrance to a small tunnel in the dell at the back of the premises; a dog was first sent in, and, in the words of the Maidstone Journal, a man's voice was heard 'bidding the dog quit the place'. The occupants were invited to withdraw from the tunnel but without result. Straw was then brought and lighted at the entrance to try if they could be smoked out. This was not successful. Spades and pick-axes were then requisitioned, and the lawn on the line of the passage was dug up, the arch broken in, and more straw and fire intro­duced.

Those at last had the desired effect, and three men emerged, who were, of course immediately arrested. The place had been used as a retreat for thieves, and as a store house for stolen property. The floor was deeply covered with the evidences of their enterprise. The heavy knocking had been occasioned by a desire to break through into the cellar from the passage in order to rob the house.

The entrance to this passage is still to be seen on the slope at the end of the garden of "The Cedars", on the east side of, and next to Vanbrugh Castle. The line of the passage­way was cut when a stoke-hole to the greenhouses in the garden was made: it apparently led up to and adjoined the large cellar still existing next the grounds of Vanbrugh Castle.

There appears to be no doubt that there existed, and still exists, a long underground passage in Westcombe Park; persons who are, or were a short time ago, living have been in it. The line taken suggests that it may have connected Vanbrugh Castle with Vanbrugh House. I venture to think that if excavations were made along this line, perhaps in the gardens of the new houses on the south side of Westcombe Park, the tunnel would be found. "

(The house called "The Cedars" is, of course, our Wakefield Wing).

THIS AND THAT

In the Easter term we incubated ten ducks' eggs in an apparatus constructed by Mr. Morton, our Biology master. We operated on two eggs to remove the embryos and both operations were successful. The incubator was heated by an electric light bulb and given humidity by moisture trays. A number of ducklings were successfully hatched, and at the end of term we had five live birds which we presented to the groundsman of the Royal Naval College.

R. Leghorn.


The Royal Air Force is taking a greater interest in our School lately. During the Easter holidays last year a party of ten boys spent three happy days at RAF Oakington and Coltishall. This last Easter another ten visited RAF Lyneham and Benson. Another ten are flying to RAF Wildenrath in Germany during these holidays, five are going as guests of RAF Binbrook and the whole school has been invited to Press Day at Biggin Hill for the Battle of Britain flying Display on the day after the School returns in September.

During the Easter term we were shown five films on the School projector: The Big Job, Shaggy Dog, Jungle Book, Ring of Bright Water and Hey There, it's Yogi Bear. We thank the masters who were kind enough to give their time for this ever-popular entertainment.

B. Jakeman.


Every term Mr. Morton takes a group of boys to a concert at the Royal Festival Hall and prepares them for the occasion by going through the pro­gramme on gramophone records beforehand. This is the best way of stimulating musical appreciation, and many boys leave here as a result with some under­standing of the difference between music and noise.

G. Sanders.


For quite good reasons this School has a 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Form, but no 3rd. A new boy asked by one of the masters why he thought we had no 3rd Form, and replied "I was told when I arrived that there was once a 3rd Form, but that it had slid down Maze Hill".
Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Pafford and Mr. Dyer, the School has a remarkable record of awards from the Amateur Swimming Association and the Royal Life Saving Society, including 15 gold medals for personal survival. At the end of the present term there are only six boys who still cannot swim. If your children can't swim, teach them to.

B. Jakeman.


Over £150 was earned by six boys who took part in a sponsored walk of 15 miles in the past term for Shelter. The money will go towards the provisions of houses for homeless people. The walk was organised by Mr. and Mrs. Pafford, and the walkers were:- Sanderson, P, Butler, Mackelden, M. Elliott, Jakeman and Borthwick.

D. Mackelden.


We much enjoyed the company of our various guests, and in the past two terms we have welcomed the following visitors to lunch:

Mrs. Croome,
Flight Lieutenant Sawyer,
Lady Cordingley,
Wing Commander Simpson,
Squadron Leader Hawley,
Mrs. Daphne Daw,
Mrs. Karen Simpson,
Mrs. Daphne Maynard,
The Controller,
Mrs. Blythe,
Sir Walter Merton,
Lord Kings Norton,
Dr. D. Inman,
Miss McKaig, HMI,
and Mrs. Curzon, HMI,
Lieutenant-Commander Tom Heard and Mrs. Heard,
Mrs. Ewen Mount,
6 RAF Cranwell Cadets and their Instructor.

Appreciation

After a R.A.F.A. party in South London: "Did you have a good time?" "Yes, Sir, Sammy Quail was sick in the bus!"

After a visit to Rustington-on-Sea: "Was it an enjoyable day?" "Gosh yes, Matron. A mast fell on McCann's head:"

RAF Odiham

This is the Royal Air Force station to which we are especially devoted, because some years ago they adopted the School as their special interest. Ian Jackson has written a long account of our recent visit on June 4th, but it must be summarised into the brief statement that the occasion was as exciting and enjoyable as ever, and that the food was more than remarkable! The Chronicle sends its thanks and greetings to its sister establishment.

Leavers This term 18 boys are leaving, and the Chronicle sends them all our very best wishes. No room to give details, but the schools receiving them are :- Kingham Hill, Reed's, St. Peter's, Royal Wolverhampton, Reedham and Gatton Park. Three are going to day schools near their homes. Gatton Park (or the Royal Albert and Alexandra School) is a new venture of ours, but we have been surprised at the success of Webber and Armstrong, our guinea-pigs, who have had splendid reports from the Surrey County Council who are responsible for the teaching there.

B. Jakeman.


The United Slates officers who are always so generous to us at Christmas have presented us with a magnificent Colour TV apparatus that has given great joy to staff and boys. We hope they know how grateful we all are.

D. Mackelden


Following our success with the breeding of ducklings in the Biology Laboratory, Mr. Morton invested in a few locusts so that his classes could watch them feeding and mating. They did both with much vigour, and although a number of them committed suicide by sitting on the electric lamp and burned themselves to death, their sons and daughters arose from their breeding pits and looked like being a nuisance over the summer holidays, so they were quietly and kindly put to death in a bottle of ether.

S. Kempster.


A few of our boys attended the Preparatory Schools Athletics Meeting in a ground near the White City Stadium at which Lillian Board presented the certificates.
Christopher Sanderson was awarded second prize for a high-jump in which he broke our school record.

J. Cooke.


Inspired, no doubt, by a talk on company management, David Mackeldon collected a few pals together and collected enough capital to start Mack's Cafe, an enterprise eager to supply boys with drinks and sandwiches in their spare moments. The profits were enormous, and the share-holders gloating over their enormous profits when for some reason the Headmaster closed the thing down.

P. Butler. (Note: The reason was quite a good one. J.H. C.)


The School has continued to supply the Royal Naval College with a full complement of boy choristers for which they are very grateful. The Admiral

On Speech Day several mothers told the Headmaster that they would like to know which other families of V.C.S. boys lived near them so that they could perhaps co-operate on Visiting Days and travel plans. This sounds like an excellent Geography project for next term.

This Chronicle was started in the Christmas term of 1963 by Ian Macfadyen when he was just 13. He is now 20 and studying to become a lawyer. It was always the intention to make the magazine a record of the term's events, but this time we have added a "coloured supplement" to compensate for the lack of an edition last Easter.

Our 1st Form have been fortunate to enjoy the services of Mr. John Pearson over the past year. He is a retired business-man who visits us twice a week in order to interest our youngest boys in the many exciting things that are going on around. Together they have been to the Woolwich Ferry, the Royal Docks, Horniman's Museum, Chislehurst Caves, the Maritime Museum, the Blackwall Tunnel, the Borough Nurseries, a farm near Canterbury, the Cutty Sark and several other places of interest. We are very grateful to him, and are now awaiting his plans for next term!

On Speech Day, July 25th, we were honoured by the presence of Sir Arthur Bryant, the distinguished historian who gave us all a rousing talk about our English heritage and the part we must all play in our future. He recalled some of Churchill's inspiring words in England's "greatest hour". Later he wrote describing his visit as "a most fascinating and interesting experience".

Supplement: We have included in this edition two accounts, one by Lady Cordingley, a member of the School Committee for many years, and another by Mr. Paul Cutting, a former secretary of the Committee.


Football

Only two matches were possible in the Easter term, and we beat King's College School, Cambridge, by 4 to 1, and Westminster Under School by 8 to 1. The Under Eleven Team played only one match with the score 7 - 0 in our favour.

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION NEWS ............ From Martin Smith, Secretary of the OVBA.

In 1959 a predecessor of the present association was founded under the title of the "Vanbrugh Old Boys' Association", but this failed to meet with success. However, in December, 1966 Mr. Corner wrote to such Old Boys as were still in touch with the School, suggesting that the Association might be re-formed.
Consequently, on January 9th, 1967, Mr. Corner and the present Hon. Secretary formed an ad-hoc committee to organise an inaugural meeting. This took the form of an Old Boys' Reunion on December 19th, 1967, when a Temporary Constitution was adopted. This is due for review in December. Since that time two more Reunions have been held, and nine termly Newsletters have been published.

We now have the names of 151 Old Boys on our files, I have had the pleasure of holding the post of Secretary since the Association's foundation, but our latest Newsletter was edited by my Assistant, Christopher Owens (1968), since I was busy at the time of publication taking final Teachers' Certificate Examinations, Therefore, most of the news which follows was collected and written not by me (as the heading suggests), but by Chris, to whom I am very grateful for his help.

MICHAEL FENNER seems to be having a busy time. In a recent letter he writes:
" I must say it is interesting to see how everyone is getting on, when I receive OVBA Newsletters - particularly all those "little Juniors". It is very difficult to equate their latest achievements with the little fellows I knew. The most striking thing is the very high proportion of boys who go on to become "leaders".
I was in the U. S. A, for three weeks: my firm is setting up a new factory in England and I was over there to see how our U.S. operation is set up. It was probably the most interesting trip I've ever made, and I can recommend America (excluding New York) to anyone. "

Michael Fenner's remark about "little Juniors" may seem puzzling to anyone who is unfamiliar with the history of the school - it was originally a home from which the children went out to local schools for lessons. Eventually lessens were taught in the Castle until secondary age, when the boys become "Seniors" and went out to schools such as the Roan.
Those taking lessons at the Castle were referred to as "Juniors" until the last "seniors" left in the mid-1960s. I wonder how many people could now say where the "Juniors' Pitch" and "Seniors' Pitch" were the former is now the Playground, and the Games Room stands on the latter.

However, enough of reminiscing - on with the next news item, which comes from NIGEL JOHN (1963) aboard S.S.Hima, of Shell Tankers (U.K.) LTD.
" I believe the last time I wrote I was about to start a period of training ashore in Plymouth. I was there until the middle of July, and not long after leaving I was ordered to Singapore for appointment. I spent five months as an apprentice on one of our company's ships. As luck would have it, the Merchant Service is suffering heavily from a decline in manpower. This enabled me to obtain promotion to Third Officer at least six months before I normally would have done. This increased my earnings considerably, but the extra responsibility of the job makes it rather tit-for-tat. I hope to return home soon and after a short leave I will start a short study course for my first professional exam; the last one was academic. This exam will enable me to return to sea as a permanent Third Officer. "

During a special visit in April to RAF Lyneham, one of the first officers that Mr. Corner and twelve boys from the school met was Brian Shorter (1961) who after leaving VCS becamehead boy of Kingham Hill School. He talked to the boys for some time, telling them of his education at the school and his good life in the RAF.

From Reed's School we hear that:- MARTIN BARLOW (1968) is a member of the school athletics team, the captain of the U.15 cricket team, and has played in the Surrey U.15 cricket trials. During the Summer holidays he is going on a cricket tour with the school to Denmark. He also plays in his Senior House Cricket team. On Sports Day Martin ran for his house in the relay, 400 metres and 200 metres. He has played in school and house rugby and hockey teams and is due to take his 'O' levels next year.

Tommy Galvin (1968) is a member of the school Under 15 cricket and hockey teams. He ran for his house on Sports Day and came second in the Under 15 mile. He also represented his house in the triple jump, long jump and relay. He is a member of the CCF RAF section and has passed his proficiency test. He is taking his 'O' levels next June and hopes eventually to join the Royal Air Force.

NIGEL GRAYSTON (1966) has been taking his 'A' levels this term.

ALUN MacFADYEN (1967) has left Reed's School after taking his 'O' levels.

Michael McConnell (1969) plays in his Junior House Cricket team, and has swum for the Blathwayt House Swimming Team. He is a member of the Zoological Society and the Music Club, and was a seconder in the Junior House Debate. He hopes to specialise in science and to become a doctor.

David Patten (1965) has just left Reed's after being captain of Mullens House and Vice-Captain of the School. He has played in the school's first rugby, cricket, hockey, squash and swimming teams, and was Captain of Hockey. He now enters Lloyds as an underwriter.

Neil Rankin (1967) is a member of the 1st cricket eleven and is at present in Denmark with the school touring team. He plays in school hockey and rugby teams and won all his events at the swimming sports.

David Pafford (1960) is about to begin his third year as teacher at Vanbrugh Castle.
The two school teams that he has been coaching have achieved remarkable successes, almost certainly the best in the school's history.
His brother Christopher Pafford (1962) has completed his second year reading Geography at King's College, London, and hopes eventually to teach. Brian Pafford (1964) who left Kingham Hill a year ago with 7 'O' levels is training as a child care officer in Carlisle.

Terry McConnell (1966) is working for Keilkraft and hopes to go to college to become a litho-printer.

CHRISTOPHER OWENS (1968) has been appointed Assistant Hon. Secretary of the OVBA, to serve until December 1970, He was confirmed by the Bishop of Guildford in March. Chris is a keen musician, and this term has taken his Grade 4 Piano examination. He was unfortunate in having to miss taking part in the Reed's School Choral Society's two performances of Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah, due to sickness.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new members to the OVBA, including all 18 of this year's leavers, plus William Antill (1970) and Raymond Gardiner. Our special congratulations are offered to Martin Gribben (1970) for gaining a Music Scholarship to Kingham Hill School, following in the footsteps of Timothy Baker (1969). Our best wishes go with Mark Fifield (1970) as he prepared to emigrate to New Zealand during August. He will be our third overseas member, the other two being Stanley Willis (1939) in the USA and Geoffrey Fenner (1965) in South Africa.

One of the great problems about running the OVBA is the embarrassing number of members who ask for news about their Secretary. However, since the last Newsletter was written not by me but by the capable hand of Chris Owens, the problem was solved when he wrote:

" When MARTIN SMITH (1962) is editor, he never puts down anything about himself, so I am going to:
He has achieved considerable success as a local youth-leader with a newly-founded church youth club, for whom he wrote and produced a modem passion-play which was performed as part of a church service, and also a revue for their new Year's party. During the past year he has organised and led at least 30 expeditions for youngsters to places of interest, several cycling trips including a 5-day cycle tour, and two hikes: he has also arranged a firework display and sponsored walk, and was last seen riding through Surrey on an ancient green tandem named "Victoria", looking rather like a cycling version of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, leading a trail of youngsters awheel. His local image, I understand, is that of "Universal Big Brother", in which (as anyone who knows him will understand) he absolutely revels. Although for some time Martin has not permitted his name to appear in anything unconnected with the OVBA, (to avoid any unwelcome attention on his activities, particularly from college authorities), many of his activities have received coverage in the local press (including front-page articles) the Church of England Newspaper and the parish magazine of his church, Holy Trinity, Upper Tooting. He regularly contributes articles for the magazine, and is the church's unofficial historian - last August two articles which he had written about its history were published, and a further two are to follow this Summer. He tells me that he has not lost his passion for writing and telling ghost stories (as many of our younger members will recall) - one of his ambitions is to photograph a genuine ghost - and his also working on a novel which, he thinks, may turn out as a modern 'Tom Brown's Schooldays'. "
Martin has now left college after a three-year teachers' training course and is seeking a post as a teacher, he now holds the Scout Association's A.S.L, (Assistant Scout Leader's) permit, and helps to run the 4th Balham & Tooting (Holy Trinity) Troop. As you can see, then, our Secretary has been busy. At the end of July he sets off for five weeks at Eastbourne working (believe it or not) with children".

Kevin Mulligan (1966) has left Castlereagh Technical College in Belfast, where he went a year ago from St. Augustine's College, and has been taking his GCE examinations; including Maths & English.
