Dorset memories
Boarding School 75-81
I was at Hurn Court (School) from 1975 - 1981.
I had many wonderfull years there, it was a great place to grow up, with all the acres of lawns and woodland around the place.
It has now been turned into very expensive appartments.
Hurn
Hi, my name is Mark Adams, I also went to Hurn School with Ben, Paul Sheil, Paul Belviour and Richard Beerdragger. I went up to the school also and was disapointment to find that it had been turned into appartments. This is where I had the best of my school years. Do you remember the headmaster's name, Mr Morris and some of the teachers' names like Mr Watson, Mr Hurley and Mr Fraizer the maths teacher. Plase reply.
Memories of School
I went to Hurn Court School from 1977 to 1982. I have fond memories of wandering the beautiful grounds to get away from the madding crowds.
A Time Not Forgotten
Hi, my name is Richard Bierdrager. I went to Hurn Court School from 1975 to 1980, after which I returned back to my home country of Thailand and finished my secondary education with a high school diploma. The friends I had there were: Mark Adams, Paul Belvoir, Paul Shields, Robert Slavery, Paul Ankersmit, John and David Furby, Graham Redpath-Stevens, Micheal Gavey, Timothy Sales, Jeffery Holland, Ben, Richard Clark, Andrew Parker, Paul Harvey, Jorden, and many more but my memory is a little short at this moment and forgive me if I spelt your names wrong. The memories I have are of the size and age of the building, the mysteries surrounding it with the so-called secret tunnels and stuff. Playing soccer behind the main building, watching the pigs and rabbits, and all the hiding for a cigarette. I did not have the opportunity to visit Hurn Court since I left mainly due to the fact that I live in Asia and my travels were very limited. Our headmaster was Mr... Read more

A Strong Memory
I was born in 1931. During the war I spent about 1 year in Walkford, at the home of a great aunt in the village of Walkford. The maternal ancestry of my family is in Walkford. My great aunt had a house on I guess the Ringwood road. She had a hand laundry and at that time she would collect linen from the big houses in a van. Mondays, I believe was the day the linen soaked in an outhouse, the following day boiled, the next dried, the next ironed and finally delivered back.
I do not know my great aunt's family name, as I never knew my grandmother's maiden name. I remember the name `Cuppage' or perhaps `Cubbage', and their descendants still lived, and continued to live I guess, in Walkford. There was a daughter, and the daughter's son was named Dennis. I believe he moved to Highcliffe in later years. As you walk down Ringwood Road from Highcliffe end towards Hinton Admiral, they lived in a house... Read more
Lost Love
I met my late wife Angela in Walkford in 1960 when we were both very young. I was on holiday on my motorbike with three of my pals, and she was on a bicycle. It was a hot August bank holiday. She lived in Heath Road and was very girlish for 15. I thought at least one year older I was much more sophisticated. I went home to High Wycombe after spending two nights on the beach with my pals and disturbing the local constabulary. But we kept in touch and courted as it was done in those days. I visited many times and we would stroll over the common or through the Chewton Bunny. After five years we married and she came to live in High Wycombe, where eventually we raised our kids. We moved house several times and made a good life for ourselves, eventually settling in the village of Naphill where I still live today.
Sadly she was taken from us in 1994 but I continue... Read more
