1.8.1958 Clovelly school presentation 

This was a tribute paid to Mrs A M Jones by Mr James Cruse, the senior school manager, when Mrs Jones, headmistress of Clovelly primary school, retired after eight years.
The Rector of Clovelly, Rev Dr G S Spinks, said it was an occasion of mingled regret and gratitude. The school owed much to Mrs Jones’s constant interest and effort.
The presentation was made by the Hon, Mrs Asquith, who said she was glad to know that, although they were parting from Mrs Jones in the school, they would continue to have her and her husband living in the parish.

Photographed at the presentation: Mr R Tridgell, Mrs K Stanbury, Mrs Jones, the Hon. Mrs B Asquith and Mr J Cruse
