  • Clarence Harold Wilkinson
    PHOTO (courtesy x) Clarence Harold Wilkinson (1864-1922) was born 5 September 1864 to Alexander and Jane Wilkinson in West Maitland, NSW, where he attended the public school and sat junior examinations in 1880. In August 1881 Clarence sought employment with the City of Sydney as an articled pupil. By December 1881 the City’s Finance Committee recommended the appointment of Wilkinson in the City Architect's Department, noting he had completed three months' trial, with an annotation of commendation by T.H. Sapsford, the City Architect. By December 1884, having completed his articles, Wilkinson was placed on the staff as a draftsman with a salary of £125 p.a.. Clarence was a first prize winner in architecture at Sydney Technical College in recognition of studies during 1884. Wilkinson occupied some of his spare time as a member of the volunteer services, acting as a second lieutenant by 1884, and promoted to first lieutenant in 1888. By 1888 Wilkinson was the assistant city architect and building surveyor to the Municipality of Sydney, but he resigned in mid-1889. Clarence advertised with his brother Lancelot Alexander Wilkinson in the Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser from October 1899 as ‘Wilkinson & Wilkinson, Architects and Licensed Surveyors’, having offices in Sydney, Newcastle and West Maitland. With poor economic conditions in late 1890, Clarence abandoned his efforts on the east coast and soon travelled to the other side of Australia, seeking greater opportunities. Wilkinson joined the Western Australian Public Works Department (PWD) in Perth, working on a number of railway buidings. He resigned from the PWD at the end of June 1892, and after a few years as a sole practitioner, entered into partnership with E.H.

  • Spring Newsletter 2019 (No 58)
    Spring Newsletter 2019 (no 58) Message from the Chairman Connecting up with young people Over the years one of the main aims of the Town-Twinning Association has been to foster links between young people in the respective communities of Epsom and Ewell and Chantilly. This has not always been an easy task, for various reasons, but in the past few weeks I am pleased to say there have been some positive developments. With the kind assistance of our contact Marie-Claude Fontaine, Ewell Grove primary has made contact with an equivalent age range school, the École Paul Cezanne, in Chantilly. Teachers at the two schools have been working on ways that the children might enhance their language skills through mutual communications and it seems that this will get off the ground this coming September. Another Chantilly school, the École du Coq Chantant, has also expressed interest and there have been some communications with St Martin’s in Epsom. I’m assured that teachers at St Martin’s are ‘on the case’. I hope to have updates on both these encouraging contacts in the next newsletter. In February, Town-Twinning once again supported Epsom Rotary’s French-speaking Competition, which this year saw contestants from the upper and lower schools at Blenheim High School, Rosebery and Epsom College take part. The standard was very high and judging to find the winners was not easy. But the main thing was that all the young people clearly enjoyed taking part and speaking French. Let’s hope that for 2020 we can encourage a few more schools, and some more boys, to take part.

    IAPS co-educational day school, 3 - 11 School Office Manager Required as soon as possible 1 Chinthurst is an independent day school for approximately 190 boys and girls aged from 2 years 9months, to 11 years. It is a growing school which has recently become a part of the Reigate Grammar School family. The school is located between the villages of Walton-on-the Hill and Tadworth. It was established in 1908 and has an excellent academic and sporting reputation, sending children to the most selective senior schools in the area. The pupils may benefit from an early offer and transfer to Reigate Grammar School, following an internal assessment and recommendation. However, others will also be successfully prepared to sit 11+ exams and move on to schools which include Epsom College, St John’s, Caterham, Box Hill School, Hurstpierpoint College and Worth School. The school is non-denominational, but is based on Christian values. Music, sport and drama play an important part in the life of the school. 2 School Office Manager 1. General Chinthurst is a part of Reigate Grammar School (RGS) family of schools, a charity and a company limited by guarantee.
