The letters I have written have gone as far
away as Gibraltar, and to such unlikely places as Kelly’s
Directories. The many helpful answers I have had have all proved
useful, but I must thank especially; the K.E.C. for their most
generous help all the way through, and particularly Mr. Allen
and Mr. Hawker for the help and encouragement that they gave me.
I must also thank Miss Davies, who succeeded Miss Wright as Head
and gave some light on the fate of the missing Log Book. My
thanks also go to Mr. E. N. Moore, Borough Librarian in
Gravesend, who went to a great deal of trouble to help me, both
in writing and when I went to see him. The Kent Messenger has
kindly reproduced for me their coverage of the legal case
between Mr. Meyers |
|
and the School Managers and this appears
elsewhere in the work. Within this list of acknowledgements must
be included the Diocesan Archive office at Rochester for
allowing me to borrow certain correspondence; to Mr. Trend
(who’s letter is reproduced in appendix 5); to Canon Soar,
director of Religious Education for Rochester Diocese, for his
invaluable suggestions; to the Rev. A. Ford, Rector of Fawkham,
who obtained the Frontispiece for me; to the County Archives at
Maidstone and in particular Dr. Hull who is the County
Archivist; to Mrs. Fletcher, daughter of Mr. Meyers who gladly
gave me some information when I visited her, and then wrote me a
very nice letter. |
