JOSHUA BELL (Pe A, Gr W 02-09) leaves CH today after seven strenuous years. Time to catch his breath and put his feet up? Not a bit of it. Before the month is out he'll be walking from Durham to Vatican City, and he's already blogging about it.
In times gone by, Josh was the frontman of the band in Rock School; these days he's well known to the Unofficial CH Forum as "Eruresto".In 1850 the Rev Canon Dr George Townsend travelled from Durham to Rome with the intention of converting the Pope to Protestantism. Edmund Blunden (Col A 1909-15, Senior Grecian) tells us in Christ's Hospital: A Retrospect that Townsend was an Old Blue, but I've never been able to confirm this.
