“I came to England from South Africa with my father Rev’d H H E Peacock aged 9 in May 1951.
What I remember of those early days was: eating bread and dripping (fat), Mr Snow the Inky Headmaster and Miss Sillars a warm-hearted teacher, and School Assembly to be told that the King had died and that his daughter, who became Queen Elizabeth II, would succeed him.
I spent two years in the Lower School, by which time I had fully adapted to life in England. My mother and siblings had joined us from South Africa, and we lived in Pemberley Place, today’s site of the Music School. There was a building with 4 separate but adjacent houses. One was occupied by the other chaplain “Brake Blocks” which was unfortunate because he and my father disliked one another.”
