This
photo, taken at Bream Court Farm, is published here as a tribute to Miss
Joyce Parry who died in April 2006. Miss Parry was originally from Wales
and
arrived
in Bream
in the
1940's after training as a teacher. She remained as a teacher in Bream
until Bream Secondary Modern School closed in 1973. She taught many generations
of children in Bream. I believe she then taught at Whitecross, Lydney.
Miss Parry, as she was known to
all
in
Bream, also took part in many Bream activities including the annual Pantomimes
at Parkend Road Chapel. - Geoff Davis, April 2006.
Wayne Ryan added (April 2008): "Miss Joyce Parry did teach
Cooking at Whitecross School during its early period 1974-76. I think she
filled in for absent teachers as well. I lived in Bream from October 1971
to 1982. Shame to see that she has passed away".
Thanks also to Karen Kinnish who added (Oct 2008): "Miss Joyce Parry, also
taught me cooking at Whitecross School Lydney. I left in 1983, and she was
still there then".
