David Hanton (Governors)

Some of you may have known Mr David Hanton personally many more will have benefited from the decisions he made whilst Chairman of the Kingham Hill School Governors in the late 70s through to the early 90's.

David and his wife Shelia had a great impact on the school, Sheila officially opened Severn House to girls in 1992, as noted in our article "G-Day".

Sadly David passed away just before Christmas, his funeral was held at St David's Church, Moreton in Marsh in January.

Perhaps the decision was imposed on him by the Conservative Party who were looking for suitable candidates with enough money to afford to contest what were no doubt regarded as safe Liberal seats."
