Martyn Bracegirdle (1956-64) updates the Jubilee Bench to include the Coronation

Martyn Bracegirdle (1956-64) returned to School to see the work that was completed on the Jubilee Bench following the Coronation of King Charles III.

Alumni News

For the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Martyn donated a stone bench that sits at the bottom of the hill, just outside the Rose Garden. The bench was updated in 2022 for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and has now been updated again to include the Coronation of King Charles III.

We would like to thank Martyn, not just for the bench, but also for the continuing costs to maintain it. What a wonderful addition to the School!
