Correspondence relating to John Barber's eightieth birthday and the Barber Archives.
Graham Smallbone
Part of Chapel
This sub-series focuses on the history of the 1993 Organ in the School Chapel. After the 1930 organ expired and was replaced by a computer organ in the 1980s, the headmaster Graham Smallbone commissioned for a new organ to be built. Some items highlight the various proposals, the correspondence focuses on the building and installation of the organ and the photographic file finally shows the organ in Chapel.
Peter Collins
Part of Buildings and Estates
This sub-series focusses on the Merton building, erected on the site of the old Ashburton Dining Hall. It was in use on the first day of the 1991 Winter term and the official opening ceremony took place on 26 November. Michael McCrum, former Trustee and Master of Corpus Christi, Cambridge, opened the new block. It comprised “spacious corridors, staff rooms for each subjects and twenty-four comfortable and acoustically effective classrooms”. The building was named after OO Thomas Merton (‘32). The Headmaster, Graham Smallbone, planted a tree outside the entrance to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the Diocese of Peterborough. This new building houses the English, Maths and History Departments.
