Hampshire Towns Choose their mayors: Photograph: Mayor of Winchester – Major J. R. Pinsent, D.S.O.: Winchester’s New Mayor: Point About the Education Committee: Major Pinsent is the third Old Wykehamist in succession to be Mayor of Winchester.

Thanks were expressed to Mr. Edmonds for his work for the city during his year in the Mayoralty, and regret that he had decided to resign from the City Council. … continues …
