DURNFORD BOY AT SPYWAY

I went to Spyway from 1948 to 1952. 

My father, Christopher Lee-Elliott, was the headmaster of Durnford in Langton from about 1936 to 1941 when the school was requisitioned by the War Office as a radar site, but the site was too high. 

The school lay abandoned for about 20 years until it was sold for its valuable Purbeck stone.

I went back to Spyway and met Eric in about 1972. I think it was about to close as a prep school.
