Memories from OWs:
I was quite close to Antony during our last year at Wycliffe. We were in the same end of the Haywardsfield dormitory and our beds were separated by Jim Harris, later known as The Rev. Cannon James Harris, he was the butt of Antony’s teenage jokes and Jim took it all in good humour. In the summer term Antony was made captain of the House swimming team. I was disappointed not to have been chosen, being the better swimmer, but we ended up working well together.
