The personal papers of Sir Nicholas Bevan, a pupil at Westminster School between 1955 and 1960. The papers include documents from his time at the school, such as: reports, a press clipping, a telegraph, an order of prayer, correspondence from the Head Master and his entry for the Latin prose prize. The papers also include copies of The Elizabethan acquired as an Old Westminster.

Collection of letters and documents relating to Peter Emsley. Includes letters from Henry Hallam, notes on the text of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus, official papers concerning St Alban’s Hall, three bundles of letters from a variety of people, letters from J.H.Monk, C.J.Blomfield and Thomas Gaisford, letters from Thomas Bigge and Robert Southey, letters to and from his family (with much description of his European and Scottish travels – very lengthy documents, almost in the form of diaries), and letters from George Bedford and Charles Watkin Williams-Wynn.

A series of letters from Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn, written between April 1846 and May 1850; Clavering was by then blind, so the hand is that of an amanuensis. There are many reminiscences about the school in the late 1770s and early 1780s, and many references to Old Westminsters both then and now. HMC is also interested in the current state of the school – the numbers, the curriculum (changing under Liddell), the physical environs and the Latin Play. Each correspondent had clearly kept up his classics, for there are numerous Latin quotations. Medical matters feature prominently, both ailments and their treatment (hardly surprising, according to HMC, given their age). The letters show a keen and wide-ranging interest in other matters – food prices, the impact of the new rail roads, Ireland and the Irish rebellion, religion, literature (but he abominates fiction), and social and political issues (e.g. the make-up of the government, the Chartist Riots, rebellious movements both at home and in Europe, the Repeal of the Corn Laws).
