Remembering greatness: a plaque was unveiled in Westminster Abbey on February 1st commemorating our former Master Owen Chadwick and his brother Henry.

They were both priests. They were both heads of House: Owen at Selwyn, and Henry at Christ Church in Oxford and then at Peterhouse in Cambridge. They were both scholars and authors of considerable distinction, and became Regius Professors. Owen was a member of the Order of Merit, and both were knighted. The college is therefore delighted that they will be remembered together in the Abbey - along with so many other famous figures from British history.

Among those attending the ceremony were Andre Chadwick, Owen's daughter; and the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, a Selwyn alumnus.
