(with thanks to Cathy Linacre, Head of Reference Services, RICS) The Knoll, Woburn Sands (CEGH's Prep School):
"The memorial to the twenty-three Old Boys who died in the last War, silver candlesticks and crucifix, were placed on the Chapel Altar and dedicated by the Right Reverend Bernard Heywood, Assistant Bishop of St. Albans, assisted by the Rev. F. W. Bowler, the School Chaplain, on 17th June 1948." (Pictures and text courtesy of The Woburn Sands Collection) After the school was closed, the crucifix and candles were used to furnish a side chapel at St Albans Cathedral. |
