Hi Christopher ,
Thank  you  that  is  a  great  idea . we  have  been  very  lucky  so  far , with people  contacting  us . But  we  do  have  200  years  to  cover , and  we  are  really  hoping  that  people  whose  relations  came  to  the  college  in  the 1850s/60s or  even  before  will  come  foreward  . Being  one  of t he  top  boarding  schools  in  the  country  at  once  time ,  we  put  so  many  students  through  our hands , and  we  really  want  to try  and  find  out  as  much  as  possible  and  not  have  the  heartbreaking event  of  people  contacting  us  too  late  for  publication . Thanks  so  much  for  your  interest .

Sussex / Re: Denis Broderick from Brighton died around 1914
« on: Monday 29 September 08 19:09 BST (UK)  »
We are  gradually  building  a  picture  of the  Broderick's . Thanks  so  much . He was  supposed  to  have  met  Bishop  Lyster in  the 1900s in  HaMMERSMITH  HOSPITAL  when  they  were  both  ill . The  Bishop  told  him  about the  old  Barracks  we  had  bought to  use  as  a  school ,  and  the  large  numbers  of   boys who  wished to  enter  the college  in  preparation  for  the  priesthood  and  the  professions . The  Bishop  had  the  dream of building  a  new  extension on  the  parade  grounds  and  Denis  promised  to  help  financially. It  was 1916 when  the  new  building  was opened  .

They used  to  paint  portraits  from  photographs  they  took , and  the  one  of  the  BRODERICK'S in  the college  foyer  is  life  size AND   REALLY  EXCELLENT .
Pity  about  the  son , I do  wish  i  could  find  out  if  they  had  family , and  I  am  still  in  the  dark  about  how Denis  made  his  money, he  was  a  VERY wealthy  man .
