  • General Information for Applicants Facilities Manager the Princethorpe Foundation the Princethorpe Foundation, Which Is Administ
    General information for applicants Facilities Manager The Princethorpe Foundation The Princethorpe Foundation, which is administered by lay trustees, provides co-educational, independent, day schooling in the Catholic tradition for some thirteen hundred children from age two to eighteen years. The senior school, Princethorpe College, (HMC 11 - 18) is about 7 miles from Leamington, Coventry and Rugby, with the junior schools, Crescent (IAPS) about seven miles away in Rugby, and Crackley Hall School (ISA and IAPS) and Little Crackers Nursery about nine miles away in Kenilworth. The Foundation’s schools are characterised by their strong Christian ethos and pride themselves on providing a caring, stimulating environment in which children’s individual needs are met and their talents, confidence and self-esteem are developed. The Schools Princethorpe College opened in 1966 and occupies a fine former Benedictine monastery which was built in the 1830s in 200 acres of parkland. The origins of the school date back to 1957 when the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart opened St Bede’s College in Leamington Spa; the subsequent move to Princethorpe gave an opportunity for expansion. The school became a lay foundation in 2001, when it merged with St Joseph’s School in Kenilworth, resulting in the consolidation of a junior school and nursery on the Kenilworth campus. Crackley Hall is a significant feeder for Princethorpe. In September 2016, The Crescent School, a stand-alone prep school for seventy years in Rugby, also merged with the Princethorpe Foundation. Princethorpe life extends well beyond just exam preparation. The gospel values of love, service, commitment and forgiveness are central to everything which the school does, underscored by the school motto, Christus Regnet – may Christ reign.

I have lived to the age of seventy-one (hence the title of this work), and until some six months ago the writing of my reminiscences never occurred to me. Indeed had it not been for the fact of my meeting with an old friend—almost accidentally the ensuing pages would never have been written. Like most cricketers, I have unfortunately kept comparatively few records of my long career. Luckily I am possessed of an excellent memory, and with this and the aid of many an old volume kindly lent to me by various gentlemen I have been able to complete my somewhat difficult task. I have given a short sketch of the state of the national game at the time of my birth; how I learnt both batting and bowling when a boy ; have described my connection with Clarke’s old All England Eleven, and afterwards with the United; Vlii PREFACE. my visit with the first team to America in 1859; with Stephenson’s team to Australia in 1861, and with Parr’s more famous one in 1863; have given an account of my seven years’ residence in the Antipodes, and the close of my career after my return to England in 1871.
