School At Tylney Hall

A Memory of Rotherwick.

I attended Tylney Hall School from 1950 to 1956 and used to go into Rotherwick village every Sunday to go to church which was compulsory for everybody except if you were RC or Jewish. The church then was a lovely place to go with yew trees right round the building and also very well kept, not like the last time I visited when it looked a bit run down and neglected and apparently only used one week in three (what a shame to waste a lovely building like this). Hook was also a regular place to visit as it was the only place to go for your sweets as Rotherwick did not have a shop by then and we were not allowed in the pub, what a pity.

I also attended Tylney Hall from 1950 to 1957. I was christened at the church in Rotherwick and remembered going there every Sunday. I was 7 when I was sent there and as I had no parents around it became like a home, I loved the grounds we had so much freedom.

Kay Partridge was my dance partner for over 2 years and we both had great enjoyment in this. We had been able to reminise over many of the good times we had until a year ago today when sadly Kay passed away. Always to be remembered as well as all of my friends at Tylney Hall School 1953-56. Peter Forrow.
Hello Peter. I believe I remember you - played football, on the wing ? Red house? I managed to contact Kay after a gap of sixty years and we exchanged e-mails, but I hadn't heard from her for a few months, then I read your message. How very sad! She was a lovely girl, a delightful dancer. I hope you are well.
Also, David Warren, I remember you very well. I was from Derby. You may recall Roy Higgins, who was from Manchester. So there were three of us who didn't come from Middlesex.
Hello,David Gilbert. I remember you and Kenneth. The Gordon you refer to might be Gordon Leonard who was good pals with David 'Bogey' Knight. During my stay at Tylney I was in Scott and Churchill dorms, and John Lavenger was our supervisor. I was in A class, taught by Mr Evans. Many regards to all the Old Tylneyites. Ivan Rogers.
