Lord Stamp with former Principal Pauline Edgar; September 2011

We were saddened to learn of the passing of former School Governor Trevor Charles Bosworth Stamp, the 4th Baron Stamp, last month.

Lord Stamp served on the governing board for many years. He was a devoted and conscientious member of the Queenswood community, officiating at numerous school events – including, notably, the opening of the refurbished Stamp House in 2011 (pictured above).

Beyond Queenswood, Lord Stamp enjoyed a long and highly distinguished career in medicine. He was consultant physician and director of the Department of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, Institute of Orthopaedics, at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital,

The Stamp family connection to Queenswood dates back to 1924, when Trevor’s grandfather, the celebrated economist Sir Josiah Stamp, joined the board of governors. He became Chairman in 1928, and was created the 1st Baron Stamp of Shortlands in 1938.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Lord Stamp’s family.
