In 2012 Clifton College celebrates its 150th. This new lavishly illustrated book portrays the life of the College.
This new publication, edited by Cheryl Trafford, is a documented celebration of the Clifton story and the experience of generations of Cliftonians over a century and a half.
Clifton’s history has been written, but this is a stunning visual portrayal of the College and examines its story through a blend of informative text and resonant images. It shows how Clifton has always been uniquely different from the familiar template of the Victorian public school.
‘The Best School of All’ tells the story of Clifton College through a blend of informative text and resonant images, also including many personal stories and memorabilia from generations of Cliftonians. This fascinating book not only links previous and present generations of Cliftonians, but offers the general reader a compelling narrative from the Victorian age to the modern world.
"This beautiful and superbly illustrated publication was written to mark 150 years of one of England’s leading public schools. … It is essential reading for anybody interested in the development of a great public school” Common Ground, Summer 2010.
