Ex-Moorland owner dies at age of 86


by Faiza Afzaal


TRIBUTES have been paid to a well-respected Clitheroe man who has died at the age


of 86. Mr Colet Richard WilMe (pic­


tured), who was once owner and principal of the town’s Moorland School, died peacefully in his sleep at Clitheroe Community


Hospital. Born in Suffolk, Mr Wilkie


spent his youth at Badingham College, Surrey, which was owned by his father, the Rev. J. G-


WilMe. I t became a highly regarded


boarding school for more than 100 boys. All the teachers were grad­ uates of Oxford or Cambridge. Mr Wilkie’s love of this 50-


roomed mansion, built in 1750, remained with him all his life. During the war his father


became a master at Eton College and Badingham was handed over to University College Hospital. The school re-opened at the end of the war after its transfer to Wiltshire. Mr Wilkie served in the Army


for six years from the age of 18 and spent most of that time in Italy. After the battle for Monte Cassino, which he was lucky to


survive, he was sent to the. island of Pantelleria because of his knowledge of Italian. After leaving the Army, he


attended Cambridge University, where he read French and Italian. He later added Spanish and Ger­ man. These European languages were his greatest and abiding interest all his life. He read books in all four for pleasure. After Badingham, he acquired


St George’s School, Tunbridge Wells, where he remained princi­ pal for some years. I t was a fine school that had many Persian


children and when the Shah was I deposed, causing a big loss of pupils to the school, he went to | liye in Spain with his wife. Hazel and daughter, Sarah.

and took over Moorland School 1 from Mr Bertrand Mather, intro­ ducing Spanish as a second lan- guaga He enjoyed his time there and remained for 14 years, ensur­ ing the school reached new heights before retiring and hand­ ing the reins over to Mr John Harrison.


Sadly, Mr Wilkie’s wife died in


1996. In his final few years, he developed emphysema and this eventually led to his death. Paying tribute, his daughter


Sarah Drake said: “Daddy was a very proud, private and inde­ pendent man. In his younger days he travelled extensively through­ out the world.


pean languages and until recent years he holidayed in Germany, France, Spain and Italy. He alw had a passion for motoring. He will be very much missed by ] everyone who came to know him.” A funeral service was held last
