But *where* precisely is it?!? Kaijan 14:16, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Brentwood School is in Essex (East of London) in England. I am a current student :).

In the Book "The Story of Crass" it says that Penny Rimbaud was a peer of David Irving at school, would that be this school? He's not in the Old Brentwoodians list

Why did someone remove the reference to Brentwood School in Los Angeles? It is a very prominent school as far as who its students are and well known in the US, so why was it deleted? I understand if someone wishes to create a new page for it, but seeing as this is the only place it merits placement, why was it removed?

Because it doesn't go here at all: this page is titled "Brentwood School (Brentwood, England)", Brentwood Scool, Los Angeles is not in Brentwood, England! Joe D (t) 08:24, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
However, Brentwood School, which redirects here, could be made into a disambiguation page, with all the links to it changed appropriately. --rbrwr± 08:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yes, sorry, I was being a grumpy old man this morning and didn't bother looking into it properly :( Joe D (t) 10:27, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The problem is that this page has been moved to a more specific title, but with the simpler title left as a redirect. If it had been left at Brentwood School there would have been no problem with covering both school. If it had been disambiguated properly there would have been no problem. This was a half measure that was uncalled for and has caused problems.
A page for Brentwood School in LA exists at: Brentwood School (Los Angeles). Could someone make a disambiguation page for these two schools when one goes to "Brentwood School" itself. --CunningLinguist 07:49, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Brentwood School is now a disambiguation page for Brentwood School (Brentwood, England) and Brentwood School (Los Angeles). --rbrwr± 09:52, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Notable?

There are at least two notable old Brentwoods who seem probable spoofs - does anybody have any way of substantiating:

  1. James Stephen Welham (1983-) England and Essex County cricketer
  2. Charles J. Kortright (1871-1952), cricketer Essex County Cricket Club
