Mr Charles Edgar Thomas

He joined the College in 1921 and was for many years in charge of Hockey. He was also housemaster of Stradbroke for 26 years. He died on 31 October 1958 at the age of 70 and while still teaching Chemistry after more than 37 years at the College. He is buried near Francis Stock (headmaster 1913-29) in Framlingham Cemetery. In his honour the field, now called the Norman Borrett Ground, was named Thomas’s Field after him. He had, of course, been responsible for coaching Norman Borrett at hockey.
