Lance V. Waumsley

J SH 1957 - 1965

We were sad to receive the news that Lance Vincent Waumsley (b.30.07.1947) tragically passed away on 5th January 2021 aged 73, following a devastating fall at his home.

We were notified by his niece, Antoinnette Rawlings (nee Hoog, OW Haywardsend 1987-1989):

“He joined Wycliffe Junior School sometime during the late 1950s with his younger brother Adrian, leaving at the end of 6th form to attend Selwyn College, Cambridge. Lance followed a career in the Law, culminating in his position as a Judge of the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber).

A School House boy, he loved his days at Wycliffe and often spoke about them with great fondness, always keeping a close eye on the school’s developments and enjoyed being a member of the OW Lodge for some years. He was the perfect exemplar of ‘Bold and Loyal’.”

An online memorial has been set up by the family and OWs are warmly welcomed to add their personal tributes and photos. https://lancewaumsley.muchloved.com

Covid permitting they are hoping to hold a memorial service in the summer.
