Baby bp bought home from school a Roald Dahl book "boy". Interesting story about his headmaster at REpton who became archbishop of Canterbury and crowned Queen Victoria. Dahl said that he was put off by religion by excessive corporal punishment, then preaching forgiveness. He has a point, but it turns out the story was a bit wrong..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Fisher
In 1914 Fisher was appointed Headmaster of Repton School, succeeding William Temple, whom he later also succeeded as Archbishop of Canterbury. Fisher married Rosamond Forman, daughter of Arthur Forman, who was a Repton master and Derbyshire cricketer.[1] Among his pupils at the school was Roald Dahl, who went on to be a highly acclaimed children's author. In Boy, his autobiography of his childhood, Dahl wrote scathingly about Fisher's use of corporal punishment, which was, in Dahl's opinion, grossly overdone.
By the time Dahl became a pupil, however, Fisher had actually left Repton,[2] and so apparently it was actually Fisher's successor, J.T. Christie, whom Dahl had encountered.Comment
