He then taught at Eton 1992-98 where he was a lively contributor both on and off the playing fields . He was then appointed Headmaster at Caldicott , where he remained for 19 years until serious illness forced his early retirement . He increased the number of pupils and was shrewdly able to combine the traditional and the modern aspects of preparatory school life . So much was changed as his ambitions for the school were woven into its very fabric . He served Caldicott with distinction . Together as a strong husband-and-wife team at the centre of the school community , he and Antonia radiated a warmth which made all the boys feel that Caldicott was their extended family . He was a Governor of Harrow School and was chosen by Anthony Seldon to be a fellow of Wellington College . He was consulted by other prep schools about the importance of public relations . He was a long-term member of the Arundel Castle Ground Foundation and had recently been appointed chairman , illness preventing him from chairing more than one meeting . He hosted three exceptional dinners at Caldicott to raise money for young cricketers , first in the Hlengisa Township outside Cape Town , subsequently for those in Barbados and for those who come , regularly , from London boroughs to play at Arundel under the auspices of the Arundel Castle Ground Foundation . He played an active role in getting ‘ cricket on the ice ’ off the ground at St Moritz . He will be remembered with considerable affection for his high principles , his wish to be of service , his unselfish resilience , his enjoyment of life and his easy rapport with so many at all levels . Married 1990 Antonia Ross in Chichester Cathedral , who survives him with their daughter and two sons .
Henry John Goulding ( F , 80-85 ): died 19.5.2017 . He spent four years at Edinburgh University and two years at Law School before joining Farrer & Co in 1993 . The traits that made him an exceptional lawyer were his deeply-held moral purpose and his humanity . He was an inspirational leader of the firm ’ s property department . He was appointed MVO by the Queen in recognition of his work for the Sandringham Estate and the Duchy of Lancaster . He brought his enthusiasm as well as his humour to his life as a solicitor – an uncommon ability . At partners ’ meetings his insightful contributions frequently allowed difficult debates to be resolved with clarity and good sense . He was a passionate and expert bird-watcher . He is survived by his wife Lucy and their two daughters and a son .
Harry Michael Ullman ( K , 93-98 ): died on 16.5.2017 by his own hand after a long battle with severe depression . Before coming to Winchester he was ill with leukaemia but he received a matched donation and recovered . In the school he was remembered as gentle and sweet-natured , but he was forgetful : his late-night toast and set off the fire alarm , causing the whole building to be evacuated . He studied Architecture at Newcastle and Edinburgh Universities . He then worked as an architect in a number of practices and more recently on his own . He had enormous attention to detail – his paintings and sketches always showed meticulous craftsmanship . He had a great love of history . He is survived by his mother and his brother , and is particularly missed by his nephews .
