Vince Hawthorn Posts: 12758 Joined: 19th Apr 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 22:03 on 18th December 2013 Sorry way off at the moment. I did say it might be awkward, however there is one amongst us who knows the answer hence the need for moderation. |
rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 22:11 on 18th December 2013 So are we looking for a moderator on POE ? Other than Ron, there's James, Sue in America, I think Cathy in SA, I'm not sure who else Confused at the moment |

| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 07:45 on 19th December 2013 Well a little bit of 'googling' and the clue above leads me to Ron and C S Lewis ... and the only vague clue to Gaston's is a tea room somewhere but also found a reference to 'being tutored at Gaston's by Kilpatrick' so could be an education facility of some sort

Lewis in Oxford A Visitors Guide, I think I'm going to have to have another read this afternoon and see if I can come up with anything. I think you might be on the right track Dave. |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 13:24 on 19th December 2013 You were virtually there Dave, Gastons is a house in Great Bookham, Surrey, the home of a retired headmaster William T Kirkpatrick, formerly of Lurgan College. Both C.S. Lewis and his older brother were sent there for private tuition. C.S.Lewis arrived there aged 15. |
| Vince Hawthorn Posts: 12758 Joined: 19th Apr 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 22:19 on 19th December 2013 Sorry John, not right but between them Ruth and Dave have cracked it, it WAS indeed a house in Bookam where C S Lewis stayed for private tuition with Kirkpatrick ( The Knock ) . I have been trying to locate to send Ron a shot but discovered that it was demolished in 1965, finding it was pretty tricky but with the help of the local history society did unearth a few details- unfortunately no pic for POE or Ron. |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 22:26 on 19th December 2013 Well then, me or Dave ? I think Dave should take it, I just worked on his hunch and found the details on a literary web site. He actually got there first  |
