Rest well Miss Lunt. I loved Latin lessons, and my bookshelves full of Marcus Didius Faldo’s escapades are testament to your excellent recommendation in reading material. Vale magistra x

Miss Lunt was my Latin teacher for many years at BGS and she certainly brought our lessons to life, a true classics warrior whose gentle nature and quiet humour has long stayed with me through fond memories of her. Sending condolences to all the family for the loss of a much loved lady.

Miss Lunt taught me Latin and Classics at BGS and she was my absolute favourite teacher. Her passion and enthusiasm are the reason why I went to study Ancient History at university. She’s also the reason why I speak Latin in a broad Todmorden accent and why I’m weirdly obsessed with Roman crime novels. I have so many happy memories of looking a risqué Greek pottery, being told off for sneaking out of the YHA at Hadrian’s Wall and being looked after on an epic Rome trip. I’m now a Classics teacher and I just hope I’m half as good as she was. Hopefully she’s now sharing a glass of Falernian with good old Caecilius (in the horto obviously) and I hope she knew what a fabulous teacher she was xx
