St Bees School book returned after more than 100 years

A book has been handed back to a school’s library after more than 100 years.

Poetry Of Byron was returned to St Bees School, near Whitehaven, Cumbria, after it was discovered in a couple’s collection in Carmarthenshire, south Wales.

An inscription bears the name of former pupil Leonard Ewbank, along with the location School House, St Bees and the date 25 September 1911.

Headmaster Andrew Keep said the school was “honoured” to have the book back as a tribute to Mr Ewbank, who died in battle during World War One.
