An eclectic mix is the order of the day, with a couple of donations and a finished project. 

An official OBA badge bar, from the early 1960s, with its depiction of the School crest, was one of a few items given to me on the evening of the OBs AGM in March. Generously donated by Richard Smellie, past OBA President, Overton & Incents, 1961.

This little Thimble bag was made and stitched in 1933 by Pamela Grindley OB Burgh ‘38 using material from one of the blue school pinafores.

Dean Incent's poster

Dean Incent’s House, used as a Masters House from 1970 was put up for sale by auction in October 1980. This original auction poster gives details of the sale.

Having spent the past years blu tacked to an attic wall in one of the school buildings, it has been cleaned, mounted and framed and will go on display in the West Wing.
