  Aymestrey School, Worcester

Friends of Aymestrey School

_ Over the years many people were connected with Aymestrey School, but not officially on the staff.  Some of them are:

BATES Mrs G M
Mrs Bates was Jean’s mother.  She died in Feb 1964 aged 87. 
For twenty years she had been a familiar figure at the School, often coming to lunch and to many of the more festive occasions.  Few boys will have know her well, but her many neighbours at the top table can testify to her interest in all that was going on around her and in all the boys whom she knew by sight.  Perhaps her most striking attribute from our point of view was her courage, and probably hardly any boys guessed that for many years she was in almost constant pain, which never dimmed her interest in and zest for life in general and not least for matters to do with Aymestrey. (Spring 1964 Mag)

HACKNEY J
“Old Boys … in the earlier days at Crown East will be sorry to hear of the death of Mr J Hackney, who for many years drove the taxis to matches and was a most keen and knowledgeable supporter of the school’s games.”  _

Anthony Thornley (1944-1948) remembered Mr Hackney would say to mothers as he met them at the station Ma’am, I ‘ave seen em cry when they come but ‘ave also seen em cry when they go.’

HOWELL W W  
Mr W W Howell has left the district.  For a great many years Mr Howell  has sung tenor in our Church Choir and at the Carol Party, and we shall miss him greatly (Autumn 63 magazine) _
