Willmott, Richard: - Rirchard Willmoot read English at Cambridge and took an MA in European Studies (French Renaissance Drama) at UEA while teaching English at Norwich School; his dissertation examined seventeenth-century verse translations of Corneille. Subsequently Willmott taught at Manchester Grammar School and Brighton College (deputy head), and was head of the Dixie Grammar School.
