Margaret Wainwright (05.02.1927-10.01.2017)

A notice from Mark Taylor on the passing of Margaret Wainwright (Former Staff).
18 Jan 2017
School News


I am sorry to have to pass on the sad news that Mrs Margaret Wainwright (Former Staff, 1981-88) died peacefully at her home in Heathfield last Tuesday 10th January.

Margaret taught Mathematics at Roedean during most of the 1980s and, for a time, acted as Housemistress of House 1. We also understand that Margaret’s husband acted as the Chaplain at Roedean during her time here.

Latterly, she retired to Lewes and spent her last years in Heathfield. We believe this is a photo of Margaret when she was Housemistress of House 1 (please let us know if you can help confirm that). This House photograph was one of many that Margaret kept from her teaching career in various schools over the years. This photo, however, was the only one which she chose to frame and hang – with pride of place – on the wall of her home.

Margaret’s funeral will take place in Eastbourne in early February. Should any former students or colleagues wish to attend, they will be most welcome. Please contact Mark at Roedean School for precise details or if you would like to send a message of condolence to Margaret’s family.
