T h e O l d S t a t i o n e r - N o 8 1 WAR MEMORIAL WINDOW ORIGINALLY IN THE SCHOOL HALL, MAYFIELD ROAD - DESIGNED BY ALFRED WILKINSON, A FORMER PUPIL Correspondence from Mark Wilkinson, Andreas Christou and the Editor Dear Mark Wilkinson As Andreas has written to you on the 3rd October 2014, I am aware of his response and of the Order of Service for the War Memorial Window dedicated on the 19th February, 1950. This WINDOW, as Andreas mentioned, was located in the Parish Church of Hornsey at the bottom of Cranley Gardens, in Park Road around 1983. If my memory serves me well, I went to the Parish Church before the closure of the Stationers' Company's School with the Headmaster, Stan Read at that time to see the Window positioned in the Parish Church. Susequently, the Annual Carol Service that the Stationers' Company's School held annually, was revived by the Old Stationers' Association (OSA) a few years after closure to coincide with a Dedication of the Memorial Window in the Parish Church. This Service of Dedication was the impetus for an OSA Carol Service which has taken place ever since for at least ten years. At the Dedication of the Window in the Parish Church, the then former Headmaster, Robert Baynes wrote introductory noters for the Booklet that was prepared for the occasion. The cover of this booklet had a photograph of the Memorial Window, copied from an original produced as a sheet with explanation of the Window before the Memorial service that took place in the School Hall on the 19th February 1950. The actual Magazine of the Old Stationers' Association, 'The Old Stationer' also carried this photogaph on the cover of the edition of the Magazine of the time. The Carol Service in the Parish Church of Hornsey this year is particularly poignant as you will know, commemorates those Old Stationers who died in the First World War, started 100 Years ago and those Old Stationers who died in the Second World War, 1944, that ended 70 Years ago. We would welcome and members of the family to the Carol Service on Sunday the 7th December at 4.00pm in Hornsey Parish Church – St.Mary cum St.George's in Park Road at the bottom of Muswell Hill, London N.10. As for your Uncle, ALFRED LASHBROOK WILKINSON, born 14th October, 1899, perhaps you could let me know when he died. Could you please let me know some details of S.E.GORSKI? However, I met ALFRED WILKINSON, when Alfred visited Stationers' Company's School, many years ago. You may have some information when Alfred attended Stationers'. Yours sincerely Geraint Pritchard Hello Geraint mark wilkinson (markwilkinson86@gmail.com) 28th November 2014 Thanks for writing. Thank you for the invite to the Carol Service at Hornsey Parish Church on 7th December, but I won't be able to visit at this time' You asked about Alfred Wilkinson's date of death. That was the 25th March 1994 at Dovercourt, Harwich. He had lived there since the 1960s. You also asked about S.E.Gorski. All I do know is that on a wall of Alfred's house, prior to it being cleared and sold, were two oil paintings of trees with S.E.Gorski's signature in deep red paint. They had been hanging in the same place since at least 1970. You mention Muswell Hill which made me check on Alfred's works in that area. He has windows in St. Michael's Muswell Hill (1940) and the great East Window of St. James (1952). Another couple of snippets of information about Alfred.He was born in Germany. He was at Stationers' from 1911-1916. He came first in a Senior Handicap Race (over 14s). When he left school aged 17 he was a Lance Corporal in the School Cadet Force and a member of the signalling station. Later he studied at St. Martin's School of Art and worked with his father, Horace, as a stained glass artist at their studio at 101 Gower Street. He became a Fellow of the Society of Master Glass-Painters in 1935. In 1965 he was secretary of that Society. I live at Autumn Lodge, Moulton Lane, Boughton, Northampton, NN2 8RF. I would be pleased to have a copy of the documents you mention for our family archive. Sincerely Mark 15
