George Lyward
Hallo, I'm delighted to see that someone has started to expand the article I started. I had never heard of Mr Lyward but saw the red link in the Great Lives page and investigated. I found an obviously notable person worthy of a Wikipedia article, and put together what I did from some of the online sources, while noticing that there was plenty of material to create a much more substantial article. I barely touched on the actual work he did at Finchden - I'm not an educationist and there was too much material available from which to select the key points.

Have you got a published source or sources for Sarah/Sadie's name, and the third sister, and Finchden in wartime? If so, please add it/them as references. (They're probably all there within the "Further reading" texts I found, but I haven't read them). I'm not disputing the information - from your username I guess you probably have a particular interest in the man and the article - but other editors can challenge anything which isn't sourced. (Less of an issue here than it would have been were he still alive: material about living people is watched particularly carefully)

Do please expand the article further. I look forward to watching its progress. Welcome to Wikipedia, and Happy Editing. Pam D  16:10, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
