Synopsis "Famous Figures of Christ College Brecon"
The book consists of a miscellany of historical narrative and idiosyncratic reminiscence about a variety of different individuals associated with Christ College, who have distinguished themselves one way or another in a particular field of endeavour. It is, in essence, a personal selection; it makes no claim to be a comprehensive historical account.We start with the origins of the foundation and of the School, so there are introductory chapters on the Dominican Friary founded on the site and on Henry VIII, the School's founder. The author then highlights the contribution of Breconians to the Church, the military, to culture, including the visual arts, to the legal profession, to politics and to sport, predominantly rugby football. Alongside these chapters there are more personal reminiscences on families. The only female highlighted in this otherwise exclusively male story is represented in the personal account of her unique experience by Tori James, the first Welsh woman to climb Everest.All this is presented with sensitivity and affection. The author's pride in the achievements of Christ College is evident on every page. With an introduction by DP Davis.
