It is, in essence, a personal selection; it makes no claim to be a comprehensive historical account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe start with the origins of the foundation and of the School, so there are introductory chapters on the Dominican Friary founded on the site and on Henry VIII, the School's founder. The author then highlights the contribution of Breconians to the Church, the military, to culture, including the visual arts, to the legal profession, to politics and to sport, predominantly rugby football. Alongside these chapters there are more personal reminiscences on families. The only female highlighted in this otherwise exclusively male story is represented in the personal account of her unique experience by Tori James, the first Welsh woman to climb Everest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll this is presented with sensitivity and affection. The author's pride in the achievements of Christ College is evident on every page. With an introduction by DP Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53300716011827,"sku":"9781916453203","price":17.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/vf9zdqxOQI9781916453203.webp?v=1777496272","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/famous-figures-of-christ-college-brecon-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
