I would like to thank Richard Smout of the Isle of Wight County
Records Office for trawling on my behalf the large uncatalogued portion of the
Whitehouse Archive; also the following archivists and librarians for their help
in various ways: Stephen Wildman (Ruskin Library, University of Lancaster),
Michael Maw (OUP Archives), and Julie-Ann Lambert (John Johnson Collection,
Bodleian Library). I am grateful to Sian Evans and Ann Sutton who enabled me to
access Bembridge School records. Among the ex-pupils who got in touch with me,
Mike Conder was especially helpful.
My chief debt is to Jim Dearden who has assisted my work at
every stage, from the mapping of the sources, through his patient replies to my
many questions about printing at Bembridge (and the history of the school
generally), to the improvement of the emerging text.
