Brian WHAYMAN Horsham 1924-1931
Photographs of Brian WHAYMAN at Horsham 1924-1931. The photograph of Brian with his grandmother and sisters, Molly and Barbara, must be when he first attended CH.
The other photograph is Brian leading his colleagues in the dinner parade. I would like to know more about Brian and which ward/house he was in?

Looking for information on Brian Maurice WHAYMAN and Barbara Joan WHAYMAN who attended Christ's Hospital in the 1920s and early 1930s.

Re: Brian WHAYMAN Horsham 1924-1931
Looking at the position the marching photo is taken from it is probable that he was in Lamb, Barnes or Maine A or B. The boys behind him look too big to be in the Prep so that can almost certainly be ruled out.Rosie wrote:Photographs of Brian WHAYMAN at Horsham 1924-1931.

I think the bust over the archway is positioned at the west end of the quad so he would possibly be from the other houses...Mid A 15 wrote:Looking at the position the marching photo is taken from it is probable that he was in Lamb, Barnes or Maine A or B.

John. (I have been known to be wrong before!)
BTW.. That is a lovely photograph of Brian with his grandmother and sisters.

I was watching Antiques Roadshow last week and was excited to see it was filmed at CH. I saw the same archway in shot and realised my photograph was taken at the school. Is there a site anywhere that has images of the various school buildings?John Knight wrote:I think the bust over the archway is positioned at the west end of the quad so he would possibly be from the other houses...Mid A 15 wrote:Looking at the position the marching photo is taken from it is probable that he was in Lamb, Barnes or Maine A or B.

I saw the programme too (in Adelaide). I tried to find out how long ago it was filmed, but no luck.
Best wishes

Looking at enlargements of these photos I am now almost certain that I was wrong with my initial thoughts.
It looks to me like Coleridge can be seen through the cloisters and also logically the people watching would be gathered on the Dining Hall side and they can be seen in the Lord Mayor's photo which is a pretty big clue! I initially only looked at the normal sized black and white version of the boys on their own.
I can make out an "A" fairly clearly but wonder whether the remaining letters could form "Peele" as there do not appear to be enough for any other House name in full.
As a former Mid A Standard Bearer I have a feeling that the flag used to say "Middleton" rather than "Mid." I could be wrong though after all these years! There is a photo kicking around somewhere of me with the Standard either at home or my mother's house. I will try to locate it and confirm the lettering.
Mind you back in the twenties the lettering may have been different I suppose!

Just to add a bit more.... this is the statue that is above the arch at the east side of the quad.Mid A 15 wrote:I need to learn more about busts and precisely where they are
It looks a bit like me, although I don't remember standing like that, reading too many books or having my hair that long... but I did have my broadie buckle at the front.

Managed to find the photo and confirm that the standard said Middleton A in full. Not abbreviated.John Knight wrote:Yes Andrew, you are correct. I am sure that the house names were not abbreviated.Mid A 15 wrote:As a former Mid A Standard Bearer I have a feeling that the flag used to say "Middleton" rather than "Mid."

John.
In the light of that my best guess would be to say that Brian Whayman was in Peele A.
As an aside the late CME Seaman is opening the door of the Headmaster's House in the background.
