Remembering Norris Bomford

Norris joined Malvern College from The Elms prep school in 1952, armed with his collection of dinky toys which attracted like-minded friends with whom he remained in contact all his life. He was a proud OM, regularly attending OM functions at the College with his wife Rosalie.

He loved running on the hills as a boy and he ran the Ledder with his daughters Isabel and Lucy when he was in his 60s. He was very pleased that his four grandchildren; Wilfred, Louis, Lily and Willoughby were following in his (and his father, uncle, brother and cousins’) footsteps at the College. Last year, in his 84th year, he walked and ran from The Downs to Malvern College with his daughter and eldest grandson, proudly introducing him to ‘The Wrecker’.

Norris died on 26th November 2023, aged 86.
