Talk:List of headmasters of Durham School

Edit Request
I am employed as the archivist of Durham School, and as such I have a conflict of interest in editing this article. In full disclosure, I did edit the article on the 29th November 2023; however, upon educating myself fully on the Wikipedia policy in this area, I have since reverted this edit and am instead submitting a proposal to this Talk page.

I feel that this edit would be improved by completing the list of Headmasters, as it has gaps between 1711-1761, as well as 1768-1833. These headmasters are as follows:


 * 1711 to 1732 – John Rymer
 * 1732 to 1761 – Richard Dongworth


 * 1768 to 1783 – Jonathan Branfoot
 * 1783 to 1812 – James Britton
 * 1812 to 1833 – John Carr
 * 1833 to 1839 – Matthew Buckle

I also feel that the article would be improved by adding links to the articles about the 1597-1609 headmaster Peter Smart; the 1839-1853 headmaster Edward Elder, and the 1882-1884 headmaster William Fearon.

This information is all sourced from the 1991 Durham School Register, as mentioned in the main article. I thank you for your patience. OldSwinburne (talk) 14:59, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
