William Henry Grattan Flood

|
 William Henry Grattan Flood, renowned musicologist and historian, was born in Lismore in 1857. A major figure in the renaissance of interest in Irish music and study of Irish antiquities, his contribution to Irish musical forms was marked by the publication of key and enduring works such as The Story of the Harp (1905), and History of Irish Music (1927).
As composer of ecclesiastical music, his hymn compositions and three masses - including Mass in Honour of St. Carthage - were much praised, but the scholarly works were seminal, and his pivotal influence in this area was corroborated again most recently in Diarmuid Ferriter's The Transformation of Ireland,1900-2000 (2004).
As an historian his output was prolific, publishing impeccably researched monographs, scholarly papers and newspaper  articles on topics of local and national historical or biographical interest. Notable are his History of the Diocese of Ferns (1916), articles of for the Journal of the Waterford and South East of Ireland Archaeological Society (1895-1915), The Cork Historical Journal and contributions for prestigious publications such as Dictionary of National Biography and Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1904-1910) .
His career included a period spent as professor at St Wilfrid's Cotton Hall in Staffordshire, and he was for many years was a correspondent of Edward Elgar, Douglas Hyde and other notable personalities of the time who held him in high esteem. He lived in Enniscorthy for 30 years, and died in 1928, aged 71. | Mr. Richard Davies
A popular maths teacher who died of consumption in 1882. Richard was buried in the cemetery at the head of the Val.
Father Tom Dennison
Prof during the 60s. Extract from The Cottonian:
Fr Thomas Dennison, at Cotton as a boy for eight years joined the Staff in 1959. His room soon became a centre for minor social gatherings. It was not surprising, even though the domestic staff may have faced it with less than their customary calm, that it proved to be an immense source of joy to the average boy, Its attraction; were manifold: half-finished radios and tape-recorders, a gigantic telescope, tools and mechanical gadgets of every kind. Later the radio 'hams' became official and moved up to 'Creepers' where a benevolent eye was directed at them from downstairs. Others came for photographic materials which somehow or other were obtained at an extraordinarily cheap rate, for advice on cameras, lenses, equipment of all kinds, as well as never-ending requests for films to be developed and for passport photographs. Later on Fr Dennison organised them too and designed and furnished the Dark Room where many boys have spent a few hours and a few boys many. They came to have their watches mended or to learn how to play bridge or for advice about their future or to listen to music which moved from the somewhat recherche atmosphere of the Noah's fludde type to the Coons. If at times the parties were a little noisy, the boys (and Fr Dennison) were happy at the outcome. He considered that his job on the Staff as a priest was to serve, and this he did in a typically generous way. In Class his patience on occasions was sorely tried at the reluctance of B Form Mathematics classes to learn even elementary principles. However, his clear explanations of subject matter, be it the molecular structure of substances or the correct relationship between Science and Doctrine, did much to help many, not always appreciative, pupils through General Science Ordinary Level examinations and in a sense, more importantly, to face the problems of daily life. The hours he spent on Lower Field initiating the new boys into the mysteries of rugger gave him much pleasure, as did the weeks he spent some years ago down the Valley building his famous den.

Father Arthur John McIver
Between 1932-37 Arthur McIver was Lay Teacher and 1941-50 he returned as a Priest. Known as Pug. The Bowdon Housemaster who was confessor to the nuns during the 1970s. The following is from his obit in the Cottonian of 1976 written by Laz Warner.
"Arthur Mclver was born on 12th June, 1907. He went to school at Stonyhurst and after that to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he gained his M.A. in Classics and later his B. Litt. He first came to Cotton in 1932 where he took the Sixth Form for Classics. He was known to generations of Old Boys as 'Pug' from his pronunciation of the hard 'g' in 'pugna'. He entered into all the School activities, playing rugger, hockey, cricket and swimming. I remember one very hot summer when several of us with Arthur braved the mud of the Valley pool. Later we enjoyed swimming in the present swimming pool before it was concreted when an old tree trunk made a splendid diving- board. His quiet, dry humour was very much appreciated by the Staff and I can never remember his even approaching the stage of losing his temper about anything. Although he was so quiet and gentle, on the hockey field he became a menace to life and limb. If an opponent's legs were in the way, so much the worse for him. Arthur would smile wryly when blown up for 'Sticks'. I remember another occasion when he acted quite out of character. We had taken Mr Neilson back to Manchester in Mr Collins's car. On the way back to Cotton Mr Collins asked Arthur to relieve him for a period at the wheel. He then behaved as if he were trying to break the lap record at Silverstone, screaming round corners till his passengers nearly passed out. He was surprised at the excitement, and peace was restored when Mr Collins again resumed the wheel. In our Common Room in those days we had one of the very few copies of the limited edition of T E Lawrence's 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom'. And I vividly remember seeing Arthur, every day after lunch, sitting in one of the armchairs and reading a section of the book until he had finished it. Cycling was another activity indulged in by the Staff, though the hilly country was hardly ideal terrain for it. During the holidays Mr Collins, Mr Roberts and Arthur went on a cycling tour of Normandy and the rest of the Staff were regaled with stories of their prowess, misadventures and saddle-sores. In 1937 Arthur left for the Beda College in Rome to begin his studies for the priesthood. When the war came the Beda was closed and he continued his studies at Oscott, joining there some of the students he had taught at Cotton. He was ordained on 29th March, 1941, and returned to Cotton in the same year. He continued to teach Classics and, as a priest, was now available for spiritual advice to the boys. We had several years together running the Catholic Evidence Guild which we had started in the School. He remained at Cotton until 1950 when he moved to Acocks Green. We all missed his company because he was really one of us. I remember particularly his gentleness, his quiet and ready wit, his neatness and tidiness. I remember going into his room on one occasion when we had changed for rugger. Whereas I had strewn my garments all over the place, in his room everything was neatly folded and in its place. This was typical of the man he was: a man.to have everything under control with nothing out of order: a thoroughly spiritual man and priest. After leaving Cotton he was at Acocks Green from 1950 till 1952. Then he went to Carterton from 1952 till 1954. His health had not been good for some time and in 1954 he went as Chaplain to the Daughters of the Heart of Mary Convent at Caverswall. The Sisters of the Holy Spirit then came to Caverswall and Arthur remained there until his death on 10th June this year, two days short of his 69th birthday. From Caverswall he came over to Cotton every fortnight to hear the confessions of the Sisters and any of the Staff and boys. Speaking for myself, I know that my own life was enriched by knowing him and sharing his friendship and I am certain that applies to very many other Cottonians too."

Extract from The Cottonian (1940s)
Firstly we must pay our modest tribute to our Music Master, Mr. John Brennan, for a series of superb pianoforte recitals. Formerly a Halle Scholar in the Royal Manchester College of Music, Mr. Brennan has already achieved a wide reputation and has won so much praise from the Press for his brilliant playing for the B.B.C. and on the public platform that any words of ours must seem bathotic. Since we have heard him play many of the masterpieces which have delighted the professional critics so much, we may be permitted to add our humble wonder and sincere appreciation to their paeans of praise. " His performance of the B minor Scherzo of Chopin was as sensitive as it was vivid in colour and brilliant in technique," writes the critic of the Manchester Guardian. Of Beethoven's " Moonlight " sonata, another critic writes that it " was played with just the right amount of sensitiveness, revealing Beethoven in one of his more tender moods. The allegretto was played with wonderful lightness and grace, whilst the last movement was played with great dexterity and, in spite of the tremendous speed and fire of the interpretation, every note was clear, providing us with a great thrill from first to last."

Father Humphrey Bright
Humph was Prefect of Discipline 1928-35. Later became Bishop Bright.Died in 1964. He was a very popular Bishop locally.
Born in Essex in 1901 he was the thirteenth of fourteen children. Being low down in the pecking-order seems to have made no difference to this future Bishop, whose cheerful confident manner gave him an unmistakable presence. He began his studies for the priesthood at Cotton College and in 1918, like Fr Stanbridge, became Head boy, or Public Man. He was ordained at Oscott College in 1929 and returned to Cotton as Prefect of discipline. He had an irrepressible energy, which caused some irritation amongst more sedate members of staff, but also won him many friends especially in local parishes. In 1935 he was appointed as first parish priest to Trent Vale which was dedicated to St Teresa of Lisieux and whose simplicity and innocence of life he greatly admired, and, albeit in a different way, followed. On the outbreak of war in 1939 he became Chaplain to the forces, and was one of the survivors at Dunkirk. Such was his enthusiasm that he soon became a Senior Chaplain with a special mission to recruit other "volunteer" priests. Eventually he was sent to Army Headquarters in Italy, and was R.C. chaplain to the Allied forces when they entered Rome. There his abilities were soon recognised, and to his own surprise, and that of most other priests in the diocese, he was persuaded to become auxiliary to Archbishop Williams. He was ordained in Rome in 1944 with the title Bishop of Soli, and returned to the diocese, where he was appointed parish priest of St Peter's. Humphrey Bright always welcomed a challenge and his years in the parish certainly provided that. Leamington was growing, and changing, at a faster rate than ever. Soldiers were returning home, and at the same time, there was a great influx of other communities seeking work. The war years had prevented development, and Catholic schools in particular were mostly in a poor state and overcrowded. In addition to all this the health of the Archbishop deteriorated and Bishop Bright became deeply involved with Diocesan duties. To all these problems and needs he brought a boundless zeal and enthusiasm. Every parish seemed to know him, and certainly every young priest or student in the diocese felt challenged by him, since his greatest concern was for the youth of the diocese. Amongst his many contributions to the diocese was the establishment of a diocesan youth centre in Stratford named Soli House in recognition of his episcopal title. All of this would have been impossible even for one with his tremendous energy, but, at the time of his appointment, the Archbishop had appointed another army chaplain who provided, in army parlance, "essential back-up support". In 1951 Archbishop Masterson asked him to take up a post in Stoke-on-Trent with special responsibility for the "Potteries". It was a great wrench for him to leave Leamington but with his usual loyalty he immediately agreed. His thirteen years in Tunstall deserve a further account in themselves, for it was there that "Humph" became one of the most influential and well-loved priests in the diocese. Because Leamington had, as it were, its own Bishop, all the confirmations during these years were administered by him. When the new Catholic Grammar school in Leamington was established in 1966, it was obvious it should be called "Bishop Bright". He died in 1964 and was buried at Oscott College.
From his Cottonian Obit:-
'THE- Lord loves a cheerful giver', and if ever there was a man who all his life gave himself it was Bishop Bright. Whatever work he had in hand he gave himself heart and soul to it. This was clear from the first moment he came to Cotton as a boy in 1918. Cheerful, irrepressible enthusiasm was his from the start. He soon became prominent in games and found a permanent place in the Soccer and Cricket XI's -he was a natural athlete who enjoyed games and he was remarkably good at all of them. In his last year he was Public Man, and there can rarely have been a better. His powers of leadership were given scope for the first time ; responsibility sat easily on him, his enthusiasm was quickly caught, and public spirit became a reality. After philosophy and theology at Oscott lie was ordained priest in 1928 and was at once appointed to Cotton as Prefect of Discipline. This arduous and exhausting work he did for seven years, and he did it supremely well.Cotton was always near to his heart. A boy, a master, and finally a Governor of the School lie was always anxious to do anything lie could for the School, and he did much. In recent years we recall with gratitude the inspiring speech he made the last time lie distributed prizes, the Pontifical Mass he sang on the actual day of the Bicentenary of the School, and the happy day lie spent with us in our family celebration.'
Father Terry Brain
Terry Brain was Prefect of Discipline until 1969. Currently he is Bishop of Salford."I was first accepted as a student for the priesthood by Bishop Masterson, a Salford priest. Later on I was privileged to work with Archbishop George Dwyer, another great Salford priest. I have already received so much from Salford and am very happy to come and serve the diocese. I acknowledge, too, the great tradition of the Church in the Midlands, a place that always been my home. I hope to be able to share some of that with Salford, to enrich the tradition of my new diocese." Terence Brain was born in Coventry on 19 December 1938. His father was a master carpenter and joiner. Bishop Brain has one brother and three sisters, all now married with families of their own. Terence Brain was educated at King Henry VIII Grammar School and Cotton College before training for the priesthood at Oscott College, Sutton Coldfield. He was ordained priest by Archbishop Grimshaw in St Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham on 22 February 1964. He was appointed first as an assistant priest in Longton, Staffordshire but a year later returned to Cotton College where he remained on the staff for four years. For two years he worked as chaplain at Dudley Road Hospital, Birmingham and from 1971-82 served as secretary to Archbishop Dwyer until his retirement, and then to the present Archbishop. Terence Brain was a parish priest in Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford from 1982-91. He was consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham on 25 April 1991.
