This is my father. He died in 1994 . A brilliant scholar of Classics, a Clergyman, and a complicated personality who achieved much for Education in his life. See above the notes given by Jeremy Key-Pugh.

This is the Revd Canon R G Lunt MC MA, who was Chief Master of King Edward's School, Birmingham from 1951 until sometime after I left the school in 1964. He was the son of Bishop Lunt of Salisbury and was educated at Eton and The Queen's College Oxford. He was Rector of Martley only after he retired from Birmingham. I would guess that this portrait was made at the time of his appointment to King Edward's.

He is fondly remembered for his saying that “grass grows by inches but is killed by feet”. He was Chief Master whilst I was at KEGHS in the late 1960’s.
