De Aston School historical web-page
Main school web-page: http://www.de-aston.lincs.sch.uk/ This is a private web-page begun when the Author was
on the Staff of the School and is being maintained as a genealogical service.
Most of the materials used have now been donated by
the Governors of the School to the Lincoln
County Archives Office and are used here with the permission of the
Governors. Where are our visitors from? |
Unfortunately,
before the Archive collection was rescued the volume came apart in a desk and
the names and details of the first 213 students from 1863 to 1883 disappeared
and have been utterly lost. The volume has now been rebound by the school, is
deposited in Lincoln Archives Office and contains names from 1883 to the
1970s. A reference cannot yet be given as the deposit was made after this
site was begun, and I’ve not caught up with their cataloging yet! |
Indexed photographs of School Football, Cricket, and Rugby Teams
1885-1945, (originals now in Lincoln Archives). The collection is fully name
indexed between 1885 and 1945 – although pictures have only been scanned up
to about 1919. There are also a growing number of more recent photographs and
site pictures. There
are also some pictures of the School and Recent
pictures of John Edward Tillett donated by a great great nephew, Mr T.
