My husband and I and the children lived in the little house inside the school gates. My late husband, Captain Ronnie Rourke was the first Warden of the Spitalfields Crypt Trust which is illustrated on this presentation. Ronnie was awarded the MBE for his work in the Crypt

We worked with the Rev. Eddie Stride, and knew their family well and valued Irene’s wisdom and encouragement for our family.
