Richard was a great Old Tonbridgian, being a key member of the OT Cricketer Cup XI that won the trophy so many times in its formative years. He was also
a fine Rackets player, especially in tandem with John Thompson and then Martin Smith. Further, Richard was headmaster of Hilden Grange, which supplied
