Welcome

Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

Uganda

John Jameson Willis (M 1887.1) was one of five boys who entered Haileybury that term who became clergymen. One was Bernard Attlee (L), brother of the future prime minister. Willis became Bishop of Uganda, where of course the work of the Haileybury Youth Trust goes on today. I have posted about the HYT before, but here is a video they have made of their work.

Bishop Willis, by the way, was heavily involved in a church controversy which saw him accused of heresy. More about that on another occasion, but for now here is the video.
