Mr Mark Eggleston and members of his family visited Pocklington School recently, to unveil a new Trophy Cabinet which they had kindly donated in celebration of the long association the Eggleston family have had with Pocklington School.    

Mark’s father Michael joined the School in 1940 and the last of six cousins left in 2017.  During that time, the Egglestons have been wonderful supporters of Dolman House.  The new Trophy Cabinet, which sits in the main school corridor, features a plaque celebrating the family’s involvement with Dolman House and displays a range of silverware competed for across the School in events such as House Drama, House Music and sports competitions.

Mr Eggleston said: “ We are delighted to have provided the new Trophy Cabinet for the School, and that our family name will now be permanently recognised in a place that current and future generations of Dolman House students will see every day.”
