School History Book

As part of our 400th anniversary celebrations, a new historical publication (limited edition) was made available in November 2012, written by Gareth Randall, Assistant Head at Owen’s until 2006, who then retired to become a priest in an Anglican Church in France. This beautiful hardback edition of 250 pages contains numerous wonderful illustrations from our 400 year-long history and profiles written about our famous alumni by parent, Rosie Millard, freelance journalist and former Arts correspondent for the BBC.
