The story of two families – the Simpsons and the Campbells and the new lives that they made for themselves in Bristol after moving from Worcester.
Rev George Simpson, at the age of 71, two years after the death of his first wife in Worcester, wanted to return to Bristol where he had spent his childhood.
He married spinster school teacher Caroline Campbell (aged 48) in the summer of 1922 and in the Autumn of that year together they fulfilled their dream of creating a new innovative girls’ school.
Younger sister Emily Campbell later became joint principal with Caroline.
Many fascinating memories from former pupils and their families have been included in this engrossing book.
The school operated from 1922 to 1962 in Bristol, although the boarders were evacuated in the 1940s to Upottery in Devon during WW11.
