Charney Hall Notes 1930-33

December 2021 : John Cranna has sent this message. He hopes to provide more scans from his collection shortly. Thank you John.

‘Have just found part of the '30-'33 Notes that I scanned about the death of the founder George Podmore with one main and two other obituaries.  Interestingly in the 50's Notes I have there is a section celebrating the 100th anniversary of Podmore birth’

Hello Everyone This is a really fantastic posting by Keith with the assistance of John Cranna and Stephen Halstead . Its an absolute mine of information and facts and the mention of Fathers Day Cricket Matches and the names of other Prep Schools that I had long forgotten all come back to me . Its also pretty impressive to see the Scholastic Achievements of these Old Boys and also the Masters . Wonderful ! Tilak

The 1960 Notes include me, but only as a pupil, no other achievements! Brilliant, though, to read the management side. Interesting to read of Mr. Latham going to Geelorg (sic). It should be Geelong Grammar, later attended by Prince (now King) Charles, and on becoming a pupil there in January 1964 I met up with him, but he wasn't at the school after 1964. Keep up the good work seeking out these Notes!

CHARNEY HALL School Year/Team Photographs

Post updated Aug 2021 Post updated March 2022 - my apologies re the text sizing which appears to have a mind of its own! Post updated March 14 2022 - more photographs added Post updated March 6 2024 - Football XI 1966 or 67? added Post updated May 8 2024 - Year 1896/7 added Recently sourced from the excellent article about the Podmore family by Frances Limbrey in June 2015, published by the Cartmel Peninsula Local History Society*, this is probably the first Charney Hall School Year photograph in existence. Taken around 1896 it features George and Matilda Podmore, their daughter Enid, two of their sons Eric and Hubert, together with 22 pupils. The School Lists indicate the intake for 1896 to be 27 boys whereas 24 boys are scheduled in 1897 (This would include the Podmore’s 2 sons) and may therefore be the correct year.  *  https://cplhs.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/podmore-family.pdf  19 Here is a CH Year Photograph 1967 (No.1) kindly sourced by Andrew Holmes-Higgin (Priory
