Book of The Fallen
Driven forwards by Revd Hugh Bearn, a historic research project has been completed, producing a Memorial Book recording the Fallen Anselmians. Through this journey it has been discovered that one was in the GB Olympic team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, another has a park named after him in Holland, another has a physics prize awarded in his memory and still yet another was the son of the Prof of Chemistry at The Victoria University of Manchester.
Limited edition books of The Fallen can be purchased via the St Anselm Hall association website here
