Garde ta Foy: The Riche Heritage of Felsted School 1564-2014 Summary

Garde ta Foy: The Riche Heritage of Felsted School 1564-2014 by Alastair Grierson Rickford

This wonderful volume, a beautiful book which is both so attractive and also distils the essence of the unique Felsted ethos, will be published in October 2013 as part of the School's 450th anniversary celebrations. Whilst a chronological narrative of the major developments in the School's history will form a substantial part, the focus of the book will fall most especially on the more recent years, and emphasis will be given to presenting a detailed portrait of the School in the 21st century, and to formulating a thematic portrait of all aspects of the vibrant community we find today. Although the book will be written by a single author, reliance will be placed upon the testimony of those who have known the School personally in the period since the Second World War, during which time the present School character and ethos have been established. There will be references to personalities whose contributions in all fields of scholastic and co-curricular activities have moulded the Felsted Schools of today. The thematic structure will enable all readers to find their areas of particular interest, whilst the many illustrations to be included guarantees a visual feast too.
