Personal memories of Mr Cutchee
I was delighted to see pictures of Mr.Cutchee who was my grandfather (Pop as I knew him). I smiled at Martin Lisk's memories of being invited into my grandfather's lighthouse for reprimand: I never had the pleasure of seeing the 'lighthouse' obviously, but experienced a few reprimands from him all the same. I was also very familiar with the Hiawatha poems as he used to recite them often at home too. I remember being woken up by him bringing me tea in the morning with the words "Awake! For morning in the bowl of night..."a quote from the Rubyyat of Omar Khayyam. He loved poetry and I still have a copy of Palgrave's Golden Treasury which he gave to me for a birthday, inscribed with his beautiful copper plate handwriting. I fear I was something of a disappointment to him on at least one occasion when I preferred to ride my bike rather than learn how to play chess! I know he loved learning and teaching, and being with children. It was his passion and joy to share his knowledge and love of beauty. My grandmother, his wife, had been a pupil at the Village school in the early 1900s. She had apparently enjoyed the quirk of fate that enabled her to attend functions at her old school as the headmaster's wife! My grandfather found it hard to give up teaching altogether as he used to have little maths books full of sums ready for my sister and me when we visited. We eventually managed to persuade him to play other games with us (he was adept at finding ju-jubes behind our ears) and the maths books disappeared into a drawer...relief! However the teaching genes must be strong as all his grandchildren (3 girls and a boy) have become teachers. Many thanks for your interesting site. |

Peter Denton writes - The junior and the
infant schools were quite separate. Banstead County Infants School was in
Avenue Road, while Banstead County Junior School was in the High Street,
on the junction with Avenue Road. So the schools were next to each other,
but the playgrounds were entirely separate - the infants and junior kids
didn't mix. Some time in the 1980s, the infants school changed its name to
Banstead County First School. Both of the photographs below were taken from Avenue Road. The junior school picture shows one of the entrances, with a classroom on the right. In front of the infants school is the old green corrugated iron building, which acted as extra classroom, school hall and canteen, where we had our 'school dinners'. May 2009 - Pat Winslett nee Phillips says "Two particular
memories that came to mind when looking at the green corrugated hut/hall
between the Infants and Junior schools. One was that it was the
meeting place for the Brownies. The other was queuing up with large tins
to receive free dried milk and chocolate powder - I suppose it was not
long after the end of the war when we were still rationed!"
I have a few memories from those years. Mr Cutchee the headmaster.
Used to invite you up to his 'lighthouse' when you were in
trouble. His study was in a small second floor room to the
junior school almost under the roof and was reached by a spiral metal
staircase - hence the lighthouse!
For the record I was only caned once by him, drawn into mischief by Bill Kitney (where are you now Bill?). Mr Cutchee used to read the Hiawatha poems (by Longfellow?) ad nauseam. I was also sacked as a prefect in my last year - for being out of
bounds (collecting a ball). The state of the toilets were awful- described
by someone else." | |

Hi,
I was brought up in Banstead in the 1950's and lived at 10 Harbourfield Road. My brother Alastair James Cook and myself (Bryan Douglas Cook) got great starts on our education at the village school and preschool. I remember fondly the allotment we tended beside the Lady Neville lawn bowling green, selling huge amounts of soft fruit and veg at the school autumn fair; the keeping of the meteorological records ( as a wise punishment for my knocking down the School's front wall beside the high street); and Mr. Jones' Caxton Corner Press! These were great lessons in self-sufficiency, science and creative writing. I still have three years' worth of The Beacon school magazine. I hope they are being preserved in a local history archive as all Form 1A students had to contribute to it! My Dad also built the school public notice board.
My bother went on to become an eminent surgeon ( he worked with Christiaan Barnard, the world's first surgeon to transplant a human heart).
I went on to Wallington County Grammar School, Sheffield University and McGill University, here in Canada. I established Canada's Energy Science and Technology laboratories and programs which I ran for 35 years. I always kept a veggie garden, did micrometeorology at Carleton University and, in my retirement, became an internationally recognized poet and historical biographer......those Banstead school threads are still coursing through my life!
I plan on dedicating my anthology of haiku poetry to Mr. Jones and would love to learn more about him.....he was one of those teachers who not only taught but mentored, and undoubtedly nurtured a remarkable legacy of excellence internationally. Best wishes, Bryan Cook |

Ian says "I had been meaning to send the pictures for some time, but for some reason never got around to it. I do remember some of the children in the class so will do my best to list as many as possible. If I was at home in England I could have looked up my school reports which would have given the actual dates but presently away working. My late wife also attended the village school so I think she had similar photographs for her years which I will look up on my return. She was four years younger than me. I guess as we get older we often look back and think how quickly time has gone by and often wonder what happened to many of those I attended school with my late brother also attended the Banstead village school. He was three years older than myself and passed the 11+ and went to the Glyn Grammar school. I failed the 11+ and went to Piquet’s Way Secondary School. My wife and I moved from Banstead when we married and moved to the outskirts of Bristol where our children grew up. My home is now in the Cotswolds. Many thanks for your work which has brought many memories back. Your gratefully Ian Morris |

Form III 1956 (1957?) Mr Gould's class. Peter Wells writes: Having attended Banstead Village School I think I might recognise several pupils shown on the photograph contributed by Ian Morris.
However after 60 odd years I am not even sure that is me (Peter Wells) in the back row no.2. Others could be Alan Wicher b/r 7, John Hopkins b/r 9, Kathleen Davies m/r 9, Sidney Davis f/r 3, David Garmen f/r 4, and David Ship f/r 6. Surnames escape me with Margret? m/r 1, Terry? f/r 2.
Other pupils from my year include David Ship, who came from Belmont on the bus each day with, Patricia Stratford and Judith Patterson. Rosemary Phillips, Pamela Bowers, Brenda Hill and Wendy Penn came from my end of the village. Christine Harris, Brian Knowles, Dawn?, Clive? and Colin? also spring to mind.
From Mr. Gould’s class we went on to Mr. Jones class. I hope my memories evoke further memories of those who were in our class to identify and fill in some of the missing names.

This note was received from Cyril Cooper but seems to be
incorrect: " I am second from right in the back row. I would say 1949." Cyril Cooper. Note from webmaster - The date Cyril suggests is well off the date we thought this photo was taken. Can anyone else add any information? Jenny Barnfield nee Gregory mailed us with many more of the names in the photo. Jenny says "I live in Somerset now, where are we all?"
Jan 2021 - Stephen was delighted to find our website and mailed to correct the spelling of his surname [Bramall]. He now lives in Spain and is very happy that these photos have brought back so many memories. | |||

Update May 2020: Hi my father is John Bond. His father, Frank, lived in The Oval in Banstead and he had a couple of butchers shops. Regards Richard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Melton writes: I think it is likely to be either ‘47/48 or ‘48/49. Top row No’s 9 & !0 Billy Crozier & myself Brian Melton – we were Headmaster’s (Mr Cutchee) monitors and also the Milk Monitors for the whole school, taking 1/3rd pint bottles of milk to pupils in all classes. Mr Cutchee had a bell installed in our classrom and Billy & myself used to take it in turns to run errands for the headmaster – when the bell rang we had to run up the Victorian spiral staircase into his Ivory Tower, we hardly got any work done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aly Hammond wrote in Aug 2020: My dad is in this photo, Tony Venn. When I was at the school Mr Fenton would take a few of us to Preedys to buy sweets. I worked at Preedys when I was 15, as a Saturday girl. Will try and remember the name of the owners. I can see their faces, but names escape me. Aly | |||

It was a surprise to come across this web site today (24 Dec 2009, 3
days before my 71st birthday! Regarding the 1948/49 photo of Miss Day's class (see below), I think I must have been in Miss Day's class 1947-8, and Mrs. Murphy's 1948-49, but I think in the last term I was moved up to Mr. Paul's class, where I was the youngest, after which I went on to Wallington County in September 1949. You have me correctly identified. I think the tall dark girl in the back row, is Doris Kerr who stayed in Banstead and didn't marry. My mum used to mention seeing her at church. In the same row as me, No. 9 is Dorothy Weller. Many other faces are familiar, but I'll have to study them more to come up with an identification--if, indeed, I can still do that after 60 years! Barbara Shortt, an old friend who is identified in one of the
pictures, died a couple of months ago. She and I went on to Wallington
County and then to Newnham College, Cambridge.
I didn't see Mark Shivas in any of the pictures; he was a year ahead of me and died in 2008. He was Noel Bristow's cousin. Mark was a well-known film producer. I think one of the unidentified people is Frances Hewitt, but I'll need to ask her to be sure! Ian Grey was our next-door neighbor; his family moved to Australia. I'll pass this on to my brother Paul, six years younger than me; he
was at school with Jonathan Carpenter. He may recognise some people
as well.
Christmas Greetings from California, where I live near
Berkeley.

1949/50 school
year. (originally unknown photo 4) possibly 1948/9 or even 1947/8 per Anne Lemon nee Barton Anne also tells us that her class included Tommy Bassett, Jimmy Burr Patrick Howell and John Tedder. Are they somewhere on this photograph? Ann says "I feel sure that one or two of those named were actually a school year younger than myself. Is the picture of only one class; is it in fact a "top year" class; or did the class, which I seem to recall numbered as many as fifty children [rather than the thirty-seven in the picture: Primary School classes were never as small as that in the 1940s], in part span two year groups?" | |||

Great to see this picture from my youth! I still remember setting the type for the school magazine (The Beacon) and printing copies when I was in Mr Jones' class - unfortunately my copies are long lost.
I think that the boy at No2 in the second row down is Raymond Harris, not Mervyn Jones. We both went on to Glyn Grammar School in Ewell, and I recall that Ray went on to be president of the students union at Brunel University.
Thanks

Janet Webber was born in 1944 and she attended
the school from Sept 1951 to July 1955. She believes this photo was taken
in 1952 or 1954. Her name when at school was Janet Webber and she lived at
Weston Acres in Woodmansterne (she's now Janet Collins and lives in
Epsom). Richard Lintern was the son of the shoemender in Shrubland Road. When his father retired, Richard took over the business and carried on in the same premises (source Peter Denton). Alan and Adrian Columan were twins who lived in Harbourfield Road (source - Peter Denton) | |||

Memories of Banstead Infant School in the early 1970's |
![]() The school had two playgrounds. The school entrance through the back
playground was along Avenue Road. That's where we came into school in the
morning. We played games such as hopscotch and oranges and lemons here!
There was a large grey metal climbing frame next to the school building
which we were never allowed to play on. I spent many hours looking for
'diamonds' in the gravelled playground. I think someone must have started
a rumour that there were diamonds in the gravel but I never found any!!
The front playground overlooked the high street and there was a painted
line on the ground which we were never allowed to cross, next to the high
chain link fence. This stopped us getting too near strangers passing by.
The school playing field was another great place for us to run around and
play hide and seek in. There were a couple of large trees which had swings
attached made out of old car tyres. You wouldn't have that today. It would
be deemed too dangerous! |
