  • Old Winburnians Newsletter – Spring 2021
    OLD WINBURNIANS NEWSLETTER – SPRING 2021 Dear Fellow Old Winburnians, Dare we, at last, begin to hope the worst lies in the past ? At least we now have some protection, thanks to the brilliance of scientists of different nationalities and the dedicated work of our health professionals and volunteers from many backgrounds. An excess of confidence in any area of human activity is always foolhardy, but those ‘broad, sunlit uplands’, to use Winston’s memorable words from their war-time context when our nation was in great peril, may now tantalisingly be glimpsed. We can even entertain the real possibility of a summer reunion when old friends may see one another again without fear. Let’s just hope the progress of recent months continues and we are able to resume ‘normal’ human activity once more. We have suffered a casualty or two directly from the pandemic (numbers are uncertain at this moment) and, inevitably, other old friends have left us through various forms of illness and old age. However, as survivors let us be grateful for our good fortune and take pleasure again in the company of our families and friends. What news you ask ? Well, John and I have been absolutely delighted by the response of a number of our members who have sent in their contributions from far and wide. This Newsletter is beyond doubt the most wide-ranging and weighty of all our publications and we hope the breadth and range of its contents will provide interest and pleasure for our far-flung membership. It really is extraordinary, isn’t it, that a school that closed half-a-century ago – and it was, by today’s standards, a small school – should still have an active old pupils’ association of 280 or so paid-up members.

  • The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
    The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

  • Capability Brown at Temple Newsam
    Capability Brown Capability at Temple Newsam Brown Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) was born in the Northumberland village of Kirkharle, and went on to popularise the English landscape style, advising on over 250 large country estates throughout England and Wales. Formal gardens gave way to naturalistic parkland of trees, expanses of water and rolling grass. He also designed great houses, churches and garden buildings, and was skilled in engineering, especially with water. This guide was created as part of a festival celebrating the 300th anniversary of his birth. Find out more about Temple Newsam © Temple Newsam and Leeds City Council the man and his work at capabilitybrown.org/ Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown remodelled the gardens at Temple Newsam in research 1765–1771 for the 9th Viscount Irwin. Brown’s master plan for Temple Newsam, near Leeds, West Yorkshire, is dated 1762. He had been invited to Portrait of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, c.1770-75, by Richard Cosway the estate by Viscount and Lady Irwin as early as 1758, but it was not until (17421821)/Private Collection/ Bridgeman Images. 1760 that a payment to him of £40 (around £67,000 in 2015) was made. Some initial planning may have been done then, as work was carried out in the plantations in 1760, possibly to set up a nursery. The design aimed to create the sort of serene landscape popularised by Claude Lorrain (1600–1682) and his patrons, whose paintings inspired the picturesque ideal and were admired by Brown. Charles Ingram, Viscount Irwin, had bought a painting by Claude in 1765 for £100 (over £171,000 in 2015).
