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.

Royal Couple


Congratulations to the Royal couple. The re-use of the engagement ring recalls another jewel. When the Duke and Duchess of York opened the Hall in 1932 they had been married for nine years. Imogen Thomas relates that the key which the Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) used to open the hall for the first time had a decorated fob designed to be removed and worn as a brooch. I wonder what happened to it.
