It was common knowledge, that a 'lady of the night' used to offer her services from a flat in ED that was in the vicinity of a church, where the vicar was exposed - in a Sunday tabloid - as dressing up in leather and entertaining young rent boys, with the head master of a nearby school.

Sorry Fish, didn't mean to bite your head off ( I hate sea food ;-) ), but it was a horrid thing.


No apology from the paper that I know of... Things didn't work that way back then. It was 1988 - 89, I was only about 10 or 11 at the time, but remember it well, as we went to that school, and that church! My mum knew them both quite well, especially the vicar (won't put their names on here).


Basically the teacher and the vicar were both very very good people, and great at their jobs... They were gay, and had a party with friends, but not some sleazy thing with rent boys or anything like that. Anyway, one of the so-called friends at the party sold a photo to the paper, which proved nothing, but was enough for them to make up a load of trash! They basically had a headline along the lines of "Orgy at the vicarage"!!!


As a result, they were both pretty much sacked, or "asked to leave" their jobs... The real shame was that the parishioners of the church, and the pupils of the school lost out!


It was however quite the scandal at the time!


Anyway, mum still hears occasional things about both of them, and thankfully they both got over the whole thing, but it must have taken time!

How absolutely awful! What a terrible thing to have happened - obviously, those of us who read the newspaper, at the time and lived in the vicinity, had no knowledge of the background to this story. Thank you for informing us. On a lighter note, I presume, that you were a little too young to have known about our 'lady of the night'?

    • People living on main roads like South Circular,  Lordship Lane, Croxted Road, Grove Vale etc  have been treated like rubbish all alibg. I hope the Grove Tovern is developed into a green space or a block of flats. Let's hope montana trump supporters will perish as soon as
    • Hi!  Our just 4 year old is currently taking swimming classes with Cindy’s swim school and we’re finding them a bit too easy and hands on. On holiday recently she swam (albeit without much style!) at least 8m on her own.     We’re thinking of signing her up to the improvers lessons at JAGS.  I believe there are up to 10 children per class and two teachers in the water.  Has anyone had any experience of these classes? Do they encourage independent swimming? thank you 🙏 
    • Odd post.  London continues to be full of green and public space.  Labour kicked off the creation of a massive new park with revived and cleaner waterways in East London. Perhaps a mountain hut in Montana off grid may be more suitable for your needs, running water, timber, deer, a lifetimes supply of shotgun pellets, and hunting knives will do you fine.
