Figure 1.--Here we we see a class at St Mary's School, Mortimer, probably meaning Mortimer Common whichj took its name from the hisoric Mortimer family which came close to seizing the English crown twice. The portrait is undated, but looks like the mid-1950s to us. Mortimer is located near Reading, an area of Berkshire west of London. The photograph show a well dressed group of children. It looks like a small class of about 20 pupils. The boys wear seaters and suits. The girls wear mostly blouses and skirts. They look to be about 9 years old. We suspect that was an Anglican (COE) school. |
