| Herstmonceux castle in 1976 (photo by Finn Johannessen, more below) |
The summer school at the Royal Greenwich Observatory (at Herstmonceux Castle, in Sussex) was instituted in 1956 by the astronomer royal Richard Woolley. Below are listed the names of the students each year 1956 - 1988.
The 454 students 1956 - 1988 were predominantly UK undergraduates, half of them from Cambridge (95), Oxford (45), St. Andrews (29), Edinburgh (23), University College London (21) and Birmingham (20). I couldn't find any record of the universities of origin for the students of 1978, 1983, 1984 or 1985.
The list was compiled mainly from copies of the RGO information bulletin. For most years (and all of the years up to 1976), these give only the initials of the students. I would be pleased to hear from any ex-students who can translate these initials into first names.
I'm indebted to Janet Dudley and Adam Perkins (library) and Judy Brookes (personnel) for rooting in the archives, to Doreen Oliver for typing the information into the VAX, to Bob Argyle and Martin Gaskell for helping to fill the gaps, and to Rob Beardsworth, Finn Johannessen, Howard Kirby and Trevor Macklin for contributing photos.

The directors of RGO from 1956 onwards were: Richard Woolley (1956 - 71), Margaret Burbidge (1972 - 73), Alan Hunter (1973 - 75), Francis Graham Smith (1976 - 81), Alec Boksenberg (1981 - 95) and Jasper Wall (1995 - 98).
