Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

Esther Green RIP

Post by jdshippen »

You will be sad to hear that Esther Green died on Tuesday. Esther was a long-standing matron of Barnes and, in semi-retirement, of most other blocks. She also served in the tuck shop. She helped IHT with the annual u13 cricket tour to Devon. She was in Guernsey with her family and she will be buried there.

If anyone has further details or would like to post an obituary, I'll be happy to include it in the next issue of The Old Blue.

Does anyone know if Esther was matron in BaB in the mid/late 1980's?

Yes I think she was - she had been in the boys house when I started, and then moved back into the girls house after refurbishment after a stint (I think) in Thornton (we went to Middleton and Jesse Rawson)

I'm not sure if she was in BaB when I was or not. I remember a "younger" matron (whose name I really can't remember but whose face I can picture) but also have a vague recollection of another matron :?
