New committee members include Simon Beck (PPA 1969), Tom Clarke (PPA 2017), Mark Gallen (PPA 1985), Chantal Hopper (PPA 1999), Olivia Matthews (PPA 2017) and Fiona Rae (PPA 2009). Evie Unwin (PPA 2019) and Archie Ansell (PPA 2019) having now gone out into the wider 4 - 7 School News world, they have been replaced as sixth-form liaison reps by current students Ned Clarke and Sasha Kariy. These changes mean that the average age of past and present students Interview with on the committee has come down to 41 and the gender balance has improved: five female 8 -9 James Murphy O’Connor to six male. The additional members of the committee are the headmaster, the rep for current staff Malcolm Bond (PPA 1995) and the rep for former staff Denis Clarke. Head of development Declan Rainey and Carole Laverick complete the list as non-voting members. 10-11 From the Archives 12 Development Update 13 Weddings at Prior 14-17 Adventure and Resilience 18-19 People 20-22 Alumni Sports Cover image: The Foundations of Empire Rarely noticed because of its location on the north-facing pediment of St Peter’s, looking 23-24 Reunions down towards the valley, the scene depicted in the statuary is the killing of Turnus by the Trojan hero Aeneas. Turnus wears a prominent sword belt that he had seized from the body of Aeneas’ closest friend, Pallas. 25-34 All the Gossip In Virgil’s Aeneid, Book XII, the pair duel to the death. Aeneas gains the upper hand and Turnus, wounded in the thigh, begs either to be spared or for his body to be given back to his people. Aeneas is minded to spare him, but seeing the belt and realising that Turnus 35 - 38 Obituaries killed Pallas makes him enraged. Turnus is despatched. Turnus’ death removed the last impediment to the founding of Rome, and hence of the Roman Empire. It may have been this association that attracted the ever-ambitious Bishop 39 Mansion Lunch Baines, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, who acquired the work from Hunstrete House. At Prior, Baines had created a college, with a school in the east wing (St Peter’s) and a seminary in the west (St Paul’s), as part of his grand design for the revival of the 40-41 Alumni Volunteers Catholic Church in England. James Bradby (former staff) thinks the statuary might have come from the Palace of Queluz in Portugal. If so, it was likely looted by Napoleon’s forces in 1807 and then either 42 Prior Park Alumni Update captured by the English after the Battle of Waterloo or bought by one of the English officers. In any event, it ended up at Hunstrete, which was demolished in the 1830s. After the 1836 Mansion fire, Baines acquired many of Hunstrete’s fittings, including garden sculpture, 43 The PPA Medal chimney pieces, joinery, doors, plasterwork, window frames and even the main staircase that now graces the Mansion. 2 www.priorparkalumni.com President’s Letter “If it ain’t broke…” Welcome to the 2019 edition of The Gossip a chance to tap into the vast array of talent Bowl, my first as president of the PPA. that exists within the PPA.

The first day is always a chance to unwind and reflect and Sunday was a chance to do just that. I spent a good hour or so, wandering around Brymore with Mr Ashton and Mr Austin reflecting on a wonderful swimming gala, a busy year and discussing plans for the future. I felt the atmosphere at the swimming gala was really special and, to me, summed up everything that Brymore stands for. Firstly, competitive swimming, where it was all about gaining points for your house, no matter what your ability. Fantastic support from the boys ensured everyone had to give their best, with real sportsmanship as many competitors supported and congratulated each other. This was fol- lowed by the academic awards, where boys received cups and certificates from the Chair of Governors for their hard work throughout the year, with the reaction of the boys to the winners showing genuine acknowledgment. I am sure Mr Oliver will never forget the reception he received when accepting his full colours in recognition of the years of hard work and commitment he has shown to the boys of Brymore. Finally, the support from FOBSA and the parents was excellent, not only through a great turnout but with many waiting around for over an hour at the end so that along with their son they could seek out staff and thank them despite having long journeys home to face.

  • JBG Cottage History and Occupants 2
    The Co'age: History and Occupants Descripon The co'age is situated to the right of the entrance gates, in the south west corner of the Jewish Burial Ground, forming part of the boundary with Greendown Place. It is a single storey, one room rectangular structure approximately 3.7m by 2.9m constructed of ooliDc limestone walls and a pitched roof covered with panDles. The co'age is entered through a plank door on the north gable end and there is a two/two sash window on the western wall fronDng Greendown Place. Internally, a plain stone surround to the fireplace remains on the eastern wall, to the right of a blocked up doorway/window. It is structurally stable but a shell. The footprint of the co'age has changed over the last two hundred years as evidence by historic maps (see below). Date On 8th April 1812, a thousand year lease on a narrow strip of “ground and demise” that was part of an adjacent Quarry, was agreed between a local Quarry owner and four members of the Bath Jewish community. The lease is preserved in the Bath Record Office and has been examined and transcribed by the Friends of the Burial Ground. It contains several references to the “land and demise”. This is evidence the co'age predates the Burial Ground and it is possible that the “de- mise” was already rented to a Quarryman. Func8on Religious FuncDon It has been assumed that the co'age had a Jewish religious funcDon.
