international boarding
Pupils with home addresses overseas have been boarding
at Malvern College since January 1866 when JGF Hughes joined No 2 he he is is given in in the Register as ‘son of
Rev James Hughes Coblentz Prussia’ As might easily be imagined for a a a a a a a a a a a a a ‘young’ school there was was only a a a a a a a a a trickle of
of
pupils listed as as as as sons of
of
