1 June 1903 - 1 May 1946
On Sunday 1st June 2003,
a short Service of Celebration and
the Laying of a Wreath in memory of Percy Whitlock was
held
at Bournemouth Cemetery.
About fifty people gathered for the service, led by Fr. Robin Harger, with a performance of "Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face" by singers representing St. Peter's and St. Stephen's Churches, and with Danny Campbell at the organ.
Following the service, a wreath-laying took place at Percy Whitlock's memorial. This wreath was given by the Percy Whitlock Trust and we are most grateful for their generosity.

The Abbey was founded by King Athelstan in
935 but destroyed by fire
in 1309. Rebuilding began soon but
the nave was never built. At the Dissolution of the
Monasteries, Sir John Tregonwell took over
the estate and the church became the property of the
parish. The Damer family and then the Hambros were
successive owners and in 1954 the Public School was
founded.
The Organ was built by
Gray
and Davison (1868) in the north aisle. It was moved to
the
screen by Bishop & Son, restored and improved in 1978.
The case from St. Mary's, Lambeth, was fixed to the front
and the Fagotto extended downwards in 1997.

St. Martin's church at Bryanston
School was built in 1858, and was designed by E.P. Warren.
The stone came from the Portman mansion (designed by
Wyatt) which had been built on this site and was
demolished when the Portmans built the
new house further up the hill.
The Organ was
built in 1980 by Nigel Church and Georges
Lhote of Geneva. It replaced a 2-manual instrument by
Robert Hope-Jones, rebuilt by Rushworth & Dreaper in
1934.
