The school were assigned a research task on a local soldier (Private William Burridge) who fought and died at the Battle of Waterloo and these findings can be found at the following website https://www.theonlinebookcompany.com/OnlineBooks/SchoolsWaterloo/Celebrations/WaterlooSoldiers/130 Students have also written memorials for Private William Burridge which you can also read on the website. We welcome entries from all students at Townsend should they wish to take part in the project. Please submit entries to Mrs Bailey in HU8.
