EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era at Fretherne House School, a prestigious preparatory institution located in the picturesque town of Welwyn Garden City. Established in the late 19th century, the school catered to young boys, providing them with a solid educational foundation before they progressed to senior schools. The image, dated 1903, depicts a delightful assembly of pupils and teachers, all dressed in the fashionable attire of the Edwardian period. The boys, with their rosy cheeks and earnest expressions, are a testament to the joy and innocence of childhood. Some are seen wearing sailor suits, complete with striped blazers and peaked caps, while others don Norfolk jackets and collared shirts. These traditional outfits were popular choices for boys' school uniforms during this time, reflecting the nautical and country influences that shaped Edwardian fashion. Among the group, the second row, far left, features a young boy named Cuthbert Gasemann, whose album this photograph was discovered in. The teachers, dressed in their formal attire, are a reminder of the dedicated educators who shaped the minds of these young boys. Fretherne House School, with its focus on academic excellence and character development, played an essential role in shaping the futures of countless young men, leaving an indelible mark on their lives. This photograph serves as a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of these boys and their teachers at Fretherne House School.
