Memories from the Common Room
We are pleased to share Michael Gavins' and Peter Lloyd's contributions to our Chalkies' Corner feature, published in Issue 49, 2021/22.
Both were much respected and admired former Housemasters who spanned over 61 years of service between them and had a positive impact on so many pupils during their time at Uppingham. We were very sorry to hear news of their passing earlier this year, Michael on 23rd February, and Peter on 14th April.
