No biographical details are known, please Contact Us if you can provide any information.

The East End Methodist School was one of the many denominational schools in BVI, managed by Ministers of religion and financed by Government grants during the 19th century. The East End Methodist Church literally became the School Room during the week, until the 1960s, when Government took greater responsibility for management and  building schools.  The EEMS was fortunate to have been tutored by several  musically talented Headteachers in the early years.
