Anton Bantock, MBE (1933 -2015 ) History teacher, educator, local historian

Former history teacher Anton Bantock had a passion for learning and enriching lives. On retiring from formal teaching, he set up the University of Withywood in his one bedroom bungalow to offer local people further education opportunities. This also raised funds to help educate young people he met on his world travels. Everything Anton did was with the aim of helping people to reach their true potential.
