Tony Knowland

He was educated at Dulwich College and later at Frensham Heights, Surrey, where he became head boy and studied Latin and Greek.

He was represented at the court martial by Raymond Blackburn, dismissed from service, and confined to Windsor Castle for two months because of his knowledge of the invasion[clarification needed] plans.

As well as directing several Shakespeare plays, he founded a music society at which many distinguished musicians performed, including Julian Bream, Amaryllis Fleming, Alan Loveday, Lamar Crowson, Frederick Grinke, and a 14-year-old Jacqueline du Pré.

Contrary to the prevailing ethos of the university, Knowland insisted that Roman Catholics be allowed to join the society.

[1] In December 1943, Knowland married Barbara Amy Morris (1 May 1926 – 4 August 2014), the eldest daughter of John Morris (co-founder of Boriswood publishers) and Pamela Paramythioti (co-founder of St Clare's, Oxford) and granddaughter of the composer Amy Horrocks.
