That will on November 26, be celebrated as the 175th anniversary of Christ Church, Mount Road, and its school. Here, Taylor’s successor, Rev Robert Carver (Miscellany, February 6) established in 1843 two schools called the Mount Road Male and Female Schools, to be duly called the Christ Church School. Work on the church began in 1850 to John Law’s design and Christ Church, Mount Road, was consecrated in 1852. This lack of funds was to over the years affect the character of the school, which kept shuttling between being a middle school and a lower school. In 1949, when St George’s Cathedral School closed, Christ Church welcomed its students, as numbers meant viability.
