Totnes Grammar School badge, c.1905

This Totnes Grammar School badge belonged to Frederick Stanley Stoyle, the school's head boy. In 1915, he became the headmaster of Walkhampton Foggintor school on Dartmoor, later known colloquially as Four Winds. Image STO 0001, which is a portrait of him, includes further details about his career. Mary Stanbrook's book, "Old Dartmoor Schools Remembered", gives a very detailed account of Four Winds and the role of Mr and Mrs Stoyle in the school over 21 years. Lent for scanning by Ian Stoyle.
