Obituary - Philip Erith OI 1951-59

We are sorry to announce the passing of Philip

We are very sorry to notify you of the passing of Philip who was at the School from 1951 until 1959.

Philip passed away on 25th November, aged 83 years.  

We are conscious that some people who knew Philip during his time at the School may not be in contact with us and we would be very grateful if you could pass on this information to those that you know. 

As is usual practice, we would like to place an obituary for Philip in the 2025-26 OI Journal. If you know of any stories or memories which you can pass on to us so we can put them together for the publication we would be most grateful. Please address any contributions to me through oldipswichians@ipswich.school
