Penlee Park

The memorial sundial near Penlee House, dedicated to Gladys Trathen.
I believe she was the much respected teacher of the Girl's Grammar School ...
 
You make it sound as though the school only had the one teacher, treeve! Was she headteacher, perhaps?
 
I gather that she lived a long life and was known for remembering 'her girls' by name, well after retirement. I take your meaning :), but ...... My wife used to speak extremely highly of her, more so than any other.
 
Gladys M Tranter
She wrote the book ...The Human Spring: The Story and Character of a School
Penzance Girls Grammar School

Just remembered .. she was also a Cellist in The Penzance Orchestral Society
 
I remember Miss Tranter she taught at the school when I was there, I was not in one of her classes but I do remember she was well liked.
