On Thursday, February 8th, the Bibliomaniacs Club from Papplewick School, Ascot ,  visited Winchester College’s library.

The head of the library collection, Dr. Foster, showed the boys some manuscripts and incunabula - books printed before 1501 – and an English Book of Hours, a book containing assorted prayers. These books showed off a person's wealth: the flashier, the better. This one was very special indeed, and was only one of only a few Books of Hours containing songs in Britain!

One part of the library included shelves from hundreds of years ago, where the books were chained to the shelves in order to stop people from stealing them. 

After visiting the library, the boys were given a short tour of the college and were able to see the college museum and its chapel in all its glory.

Next Open Morning:  May 12th 2018 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m   Visit:  www.papplewick.org.uk

 About Papplewick...

http://www.papplewick.org.uk

Papplewick School, Ascot,  is a day, weekly, and full boarding preparatory school for around 200 boys between the ages of 6 and 13. Situated in 15 acres of land opposite Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, Papplewick has an excellent record for academic achievement and feeds many of the UK’s top independent senior schools including Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Wellington, Stowe and Bradfield.  

In the last two years the school has maintained its academic record, gaining no less than 26 awards to top independent schools, including two King’s Scholarships to Eton. Through its strong commitment to sports, the school also builds skills of teamwork, sportsmanship and responsibility.

As well as academic, sporting and cultural excellence, Papplewick aims to provide boys with the confidence and security they need to fulfil their potential, and the school strives to promote enthusiasm for life, contribution to the community and kindness to others amongst all its pupils. 

A report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2013 remarks that relationships between pupils and teachers: ‘are an outstanding strength of the school and are seminal in creating the strong sense of a mutually supportive and trusting community.’

“We’re especially proud of our scholars at Papplewick,” Tom Bunbury, headmaster, said. “It’s no small feat to be awarded a scholarship and they all worked extremely hard.”
