Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Barbara had fair hair and so did Angela. Barbara went to Paddock House Junior School, before the grammar, but I knew her well as she lived near me. I knew Angela because her parents were friends of one of my uncles. I can't think of anyone else we might mutually know.

Did you know Barbara Noblett and Angela Clegg?
Just a slight wonder West Ender, but I occasionally get a letter from a nun that taught at paddock, she became friends with my mother when nuns used to take communion to the sick before lay members started doing it, I wrote to tell her when my father died 5 years ago and she sent me a lovely mass card, she now lives in Rome in the Vatican, been trying to remember her name but it elude me at the moment, I have the name written down somewhere

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Let me know if you find it, Jaysay. I may have known her but most of the ones who taught when I was there are probably dead now.

Jaysay, most probably the nuns who were there when I went would have passed on by now as I will be 70 tomorrow. I do remember Sr. MAry Loyola as her sister or neice boarded there from Ireland. We used to feel sorry for them having to live with the nuns all the time. They did keep to themselves.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

I remember Sr Mary Loyola, Sister Mary Gertrude, Sister Mary Magdalen and Sister Margaret Mary - she came whilst I was there and I think she was the last nun to join the school. There were some others still there at the time but I don't think they taught.

The nun was called Sister Mary Gertrude, I can remember meeting her once, she was a lovely serene person, but I think all nuns are like that

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

I didn't know her, Jaysay. She was probably after my time.

You shouldn't believe all nuns are serene. A nun in a temper is a sight to behold!

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

Cashman is right, there are some tales to tell.
My mum wasn't a catholic and was I made to pay for it by some of the nuns.
One in particular who taught Latin (can't remember her name) was really awful, she was always getting the class to pray for the "unfortunates" who had a non catholic parent (guess who!!) and if anything bad happened in class, it was always my fault.
D
I know I sound like a whining kid ( Cashman how do you say whining in dialect?) but believe me it left me with a lot of complexes.

Which school were you at? Paddock House, in the 50s, never seemed to mind my atheist father and there were quite a number of children in the Junior School who were not catholics.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

I was in the Junior and then Grammar from 1951 to about 1964
But you didn't need to wite 'atheist' on the forms to be filled in when registering new kids
whereas you had to for your religion (My mum was an atheist too! pity she was too honest!)

I remember Sister Mary Gertrude (can't remember her subject), also Mary Loyola, who, if memory serves, was the librarian. Mary Phillip (my form tutor) was Geography and pastoral care.

Re: Paddock House-old Friends

I think Sister Mary Magdalen was the librarian, wasn't she? She was fairly ancient when I was there.
