Re: Whitgift or Trinity

Not having a child at Trinity I can’t comment on it as a school. However having two boys at Whitgift I’d just like to correct some errors in an earlier post!

Re: Another 8% fee increase at Hornsby House school

Old maps

I want to buy my husband an old map of the area for Christmas. Ideally I want it to be an actual old map as opposed to a newly printed one if that makes sense. Has anyone bought one recently? If so could you let me know where? Thanks in advance!
