We will remember them

Posted on November 11, 2016 by oldsutts

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Rev John Fairweather-Tall

Posted on April 6, 2016 by oldsutts

It is with huge sadness and a heavy heart that I have to pass on the news that Rev John Fairweather-Tall passed away this morning. He was a towering presence within the Old Suttonian Association and his stewardship of the book The Story Of Sutton leaves a document with unsurpassed information regarding the history of Sutton and the exploits of the boys who went there. On a personal level he was of huge assistance to me as editor of The Bulletin and curator of our website and was always a willing helper ready to lend support in any way he could. RIP.

H.H. Delany, A.A. Hill, C.W. Horne, E.W Parsons and H.H. Sincock were lost in peace time.

These words from the school song seem very apt:

“We raise thanksgiving

For those who went before, and, passing on,

Pointed our way of working, playing, living.

Still their tradition stands, though they are gone.”

With many thanks to Rev. John Fairweather-Tall for his help in compiling this list.
