EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1902, showcases a lively group of boys from Fretherne House School, a prestigious preparatory institution located in the picturesque town of Welwyn Garden City. The image is drawn from the personal album of Cuthbert Gasemann, who is identified as the boy on the far left, proudly holding a cricket bat. The boys, all dressed in their school uniforms, display an infectious sense of excitement and camaraderie. Each boy wears a blazer, emblazoned with the Fretherne House School crest, and clutches a straw boater under his arm. The Edwardian-era setting is further emphasized by the boys' high-collared shirts and knee-length shorts. The scene exudes a charming nostalgia, offering a glimpse into the past of a bygone era. The boys' focus on cricket reflects the importance of sports and physical activity in English education during this time. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Fretherne House School and the joyous experiences of its pupils.
