I saw that in the link - but that must have been after his retirement, when we'd lost touch with him - and I wasn't in Canterbury for long enough to have anything to do with the school, or know anything about it, except vague memories of 1950s choirboys in Oxford and or Addington My main recollection of him was that he insisted on a class for me, and told my father that I should learn an instrument, because my ear was fine in one to one, and simply needed training. It was still unheard-of for girls to be choristers, so a memorable incident. I've an idea that his daughter - or it might have been his wife - adult by my standards, but younger than my mother - once had tea with us while the boys were rehearsing, but I might have muddled that with another choir occasion
