Red House Remembrance
During the last week poppies have been placed in the chapel to commemorate the former pupils of Red House School who lost their lives for their country. The list of names is recorded in the Remembrance Book which is also put on display.
In the first part of the last century the school roll rarely exceded 25, so it is sobering to think that the list, in total, equals the number of pupils at the school at any one time.
Here is the full list of names.
