Glencot School

By Gray Elkington (1959-1963)

For Glencot School old boys who would like to put a name to a face.

For want of somewhere to host this page, I have parked it under a domain I own.

To navigate, USE the links in the text and then your browser controls.

Here’s a memory challenge for Glencot School old boys. I hope it will offer some distraction during lockdown… and beyond.

Can you put a name to any of the faces below? Can you add a first name where there’s only a surname? Can you confirm a name where there’s a question mark?

See if you can identify more faces, and let me know your thoughts.

My Glencot Blog is here and my brother’s is here, if you would like to comment.

I will upload names and photos

If you have other photos of Glencot School (school photos or otherwise) that you would like me to upload, send them to (myfirstname)(at)eden.enterprises. Otherwise, you can use the form below to make contact, but no attachments are possible.

If you need to scan a photo, please do so at a minimum resolution of 720dpi - that will yield an image of sufficient quality. I will colourise black and white photos and add numbers and letters where necessary so boys and teachers can be easily named. I will place other annual school photos on this page and any other photos taken at Glencot School here.

A call to arms…

Are you up for a new mission?

Having arrived on this planet in 1950, I’m at an age when I have the time to play parlour games. Much of the rest of the time, I spend helping people keep their parish pristine. My own parish has been pristine (cleaned twice a week) since early 2019, thanks to a splendid group of volunteers. But I’d like, with your help, to spread my #pristineparish program nationwide… and beyond.

Surely it’s time to put our feet up?

Yes, we can place our hopes in the younger generation, but this does not mean that we pass the baton just yet - there’s much we oldies can yet achieve together. Who has overseen the decline in the state of the countryside if not our generation? We have the time and resources and duty, like no generation before us, to transform this country - indeed, most of my volunteers are over 70. Think of us like a Dad’s Army if you like. Only a little more effective, one hopes.

Glencot: a time best forgotten or a springboard for change?

I know well that some people had an awful time at Glencot. I had a few narrow escapes myself. My hope is that we can put that behind us and use the Glencot fraternity - forged in adversity - as a source of strength to come together again for one last mission - to create a future we can be proud of. So do please join me in what begins with a Battle for a more Beautiful Britain… before extending overseas.

How can you help?

By starting a #pristineparish program in your parish. By sponsoring a parish.

Or by investing in Eden dot Enterprises Ltd., which needs resources to develop the Eden App and spread the word. Eden dot Enterprises is a social enterprise, which means that while it earns its keep and pays dividends through selling services, its primary goal is to pursue the vision of a #pristineplanet.
