St Peter's Court

I was a boarder at St Peter's Court, Bacton, Norfolk in the 1950s and a few years ago I found Rosemary, the daughter of the headmaster, in a village nearby. Sadly no one else had left their names so that some of us old boys could find each other. I wish I could find some old boarders but it seems unlikely. I can only remember a boy who came from Mundesley or North Walsham whose father ran a building firm. Lovely to find this site, thanks. Since this first memory I have had contact from an old boy in Aussie thanks to The Francis Frith Collection.

RE: RE: St Peter's Court

Hi Gerald: I was a boarder at St Peter's in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I remember the severe winter when the sea froze over and farm tractors had to pull fishing boats in. There was a single element heater in the classroom, which was useless. Hard to believe the place is now a guest house. After I left, I had epilepsy for 20 years, but made a total recovery in 1985! I had a third operation early this year. I am living near Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, married, with 3 stepkids, and 2 grandkids! I have managed to reach the age of 60! If you would like to correspond, my email address is: david_gough2528 @yahoo.com.au or, leave a message here. As well as Rosemary, Mr Fenn had a son named Christopher any news about him? Best wishes, Dave Gough
