Fred Philpott
I grew up in in Harrow, Middlesex, leaving school at 15 with no qualifications to become a solider. In my seven years in the ranks, I was stationed in Wales, Sussex, Kent, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong. The Army was great and allowed me to get educated with qualifications which gained me a place at King’s College, London, from where my law degree allowed me to become a barrister; a profession in which I still work.
My wife, Liz, and I have lived in Redbourn for over 35 years but are very much in contact with Flamstead and the surrounding villages.
