1970   Bronte Glenn Wedding Day   Photo 1

Photo Belgrave Press Bureau St. Mary-the-Boltons "the country church in Kensington" was the setting for the wedding on July 25 of Miss U. E. J. Bronte Glenn, B.A., of Bolton Gardens, and Mr. F. Peter Matthews, M.A. Bronte is related to the famous Brontes through her mother, whose great-grand-mcther was Esther Jane Bronte, First cousin to Emily, Charlotte and Anne, and bears a strong resemblance to Emily. Both bride and bridegroom are school-teachers, and met at King's College, London, doing a post-graduate course in education. Now Peter is going into the Church in Salisbury, Wilts, and Bronte will teach at the Red House School, Salisbury. The Service was conducted by the vicar of St. Mary's Rev. A. P. Taylor. The reception was at 15 Bolton Gardens. At Greenford Grammar School where Bronte teaches French, her pupils became excited at the news of their teacher's wedding and announced their intention of being there "to see her bloke" and started collecting to buy her a wedding present. Last Christmas these 12-18 year olds got to hear about the carol-singing of Bronte's group The College Carollers, most of them graduates, and their young voices helped swell the volume of carol-singing in Chelsea and South Kensington, and under the Tree at Trafalgar Square. Their enthusiastic support for all that their teacher does could not leave out her wedding day!
