A FORMER Bolton School pupil has presented his old school with a slice of history. Malcolm Howe, who left the school in 1956, has produced replicas of the Boys Division Coat of Arms and the Garter Crest belonging to the third Viscount Lord Leverhulme.
The replicas will be placed in the Chorley New Road school's arts centre to remind pupils about the school's history.
Sir Philip William Leverhulme, who was chairman of governors of the school for 40 years, was made a Knight of the Garter in 1988 and the original Garter Crest presented to him is now kept in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Mr Howe, who lives in London, studied Chemistry at Cambridge University, but has always been interested in heraldry and wanted to make something special for his old school.
