Our Third Form students recently visited Bloxham Museum, where they learned about local people’s personal experiences of life during the two world wars
As part of their study of the First World War, the Third Form visited the Bloxham Village Museum on Tuesday afternoon, where they were able to carry out research into the wartime stories of men and women from the village and learn about their personal experiences of the two world wars.
They were assisted by the Museum’s Registrar Peter Barwell, himself an Old Bloxhamist and former Governor of the School, to whom we are very grateful for his passion and insight. One of the villagers whose story they studied was Harry Ayres, a servant at the school who died of his wounds in July 1915 on his eighteenth birthday, and who is buried in Bloxham’s churchyard.
