Cripplegate Ward Club - Master 1980
During his year of office there were many functions. The AGM and Luncheon were at the Mansion House on February 18 in the presence of the Lord Mayor Rt Hon Col Sir Ronald L Gardner-Thorpe GBE TD DCL DH. 

Other events included a visit to the Tower of London on May 13; a "Court Leet" dinner on June 4 ; Dinner in Guildhall Crypt October 30.   

This was the year when his younger sister died and he had to cope with visiting her in hospital, her funeral, selling the house and clearing up family treasures' in Leicester.

The Reverend Edward Rogers was the Rector of St Giles Church, Cripplegate and a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of everything that touched on the Ward, its Club and Barbican.  

His permanent Ward Club Obituary is recorded on this site.  (Direct Link to Obituaries)  

Return to the Master Roll 

The Committee welcome the loan of items of historical interest such as photographs or  brochures.
All original documents will be returned to the owners.

The Club Records for the years prior to 1959 have been lost. Most of the books vanished for ever during the War years. You will notice there are huge gaps in the records. Although some information has been gathered from the senior Club members and from the descendants of former Masters it has proved impossible to be sure of all who occupied the Chair in many of these earlier years. The official and social activities of the Club during those years are also lost to us. 

If anyone is able to offer any information, no matter how little, please contact us.
