The child abuse inflicted by Br B., Superior of Prior Park Preparatory School in Cricklade, Wiltshire, during the 1950s, was featured in my letter of 3 April 2010 to Archbishop Vincent Nichols at http://millstonesblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/easter-letter-to-archbishop.html

Victims of Brother B's savagery with the strap or the bare fist will be amazed to discover that he is remembered by fellow-Christian Brothers as "kind, generous and affable." The account of his "cheerful and breezy manner," of his sympathy in handling the sick, and of his much praised artistic and sensitive side which showed itself in his love of music and his keen ear for languages will all come as an eye-popping surprise to readers who suffered as 10-year-old children from his brutally sadistic, often humiliating, strappings and blows.
The inclusion of the obituary, written by Brother B.P. Dolan, and published by St Joseph's College Association is an ironic comment on what the Christian Brothers thought about one another.
