On the contrary! Ashford Grammar School was founded over 350 years ago by Sir Norton Knatchbull (scholar and M.P. for New Romney, Kent). However, the school has been known as The Norton Knatchbull School for many years (I know this because I live just down the road from said school). Bob Holness attended here.

What's this "Bob is alive and well despite rumours to the contrary?" Citations surely needed.
In this recent edit an anonymous user removed the sentence about Holness being the announcer on The Generation Game. Googling it provides quite a few references, from what would usually be considered reliable sources - but because they're all recent and seem to contain much the same information as this article I'm slightly dubious as it seems many news agencies have just used Wikipedia info in their coverage. Can anyone clarify, or find a genuinely reliable source, for this information? waggers ( talk) 15:58, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
The news reports of his death on BBC Radio Four said that there was at one time a non-true story in circulation going around that he played the saxophone. I did wonder whether this might have stemmed from an act of vandalism on Wikipedia - a bit like the legend that Ronnie Hazelhurst wrote a song for S Club 7! I am not saying it did, although I expect that the story stemmed from something somewhere on the world wide web. The story dates back to 2006. Does any one know anything about it?
