Petrean Condolence Message - Simon Herring E/82

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of one of our own, Simon Herring (E/82).

Simon tragically passed away from a heart attack on Monday, 10th March 2025, while on a well-deserved holiday in Cape Town. His loss is felt deeply by all who knew him.

He will be fondly remembered for his warmth, generosity, and significant contributions to Manicaland/MCD Swimming and Zimbabwe Golf, particularly during his time at Borrowdale Brooke.

As we come to terms with this heartbreaking news, we hold his wife, Della, his daughters Cara and her huaband Dan, Dayna and her husband Ryan, and Courtney (His 3 girls are all Petreans too), his family, and his close friends in our thoughts and prayers. Our heartfelt condolences go out to them during this difficult time.

The Reverend Ken Anderson passed away peacefully on the evening of Sunday, 9 February, surrounded by his family—his wife Polly and children Rachel and Jamie.

Ken was appointed Chaplain of Peterhouse by Bruce Fieldsend in September 1983. When Springvale House opened in 1985, he also took on its chaplaincy and led the Dedication Service, attended by Canon Robert Grinham—Ken’s godfather and co-founder of Ruzawi and Springvale Schools. Later, Ken assumed responsibility for Ruzawi School as well. Serving three schools was no easy task, yet he managed it with unwavering dedication, always prioritizing the needs of the pupils.

Ken and his twin brother, Mikey, were born in 1938 at the Lady Chancellor Nursing Home in what was then Salisbury. Their childhood home was Ruzawi, and they attended Godfrey Huggins School. When their father left to serve in the war, their mother joined the police force. At the war’s end, the family reunited with their father in Florence, Italy, where Ken and Mikey spent part of their early years.

Ken had long dreamed of returning to Zimbabwe, and when the opportunity arose, he and Polly moved back, leaving Rachel and Jamie to complete their schooling in England.

A year after their arrival, Polly played a key role in the founding of Springvale House, becoming the much-loved school secretary until the family returned to the UK. Meanwhile, Ken became well-known among the farming community, forging strong relationships with Peterhouse, Springvale House, and Ruzawi families. Eventually, he left Peterhouse to take up the Rectorship of the Anglican Church in Marondera, where he became a highly respected figure. He dedicated evenings to travelling across the districts, leading Bible studies and services, and deepening his impact in the local Marondera community.

Ken also coordinated the Schools Partnership Worldwide programme in the Marondera area, bringing young British gap-year students to teach in rural schools. This initiative enriched both the visiting students and the local schoolchildren and teachers.

In March 1994, Ken and Polly returned to England, where Ken became Chaplain of Trevelyan and Van Mildert Colleges at Durham University. Once again, he was beloved by students, offering them guidance and support. In retirement, the couple settled in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, near Rachel. Even then, Ken continued his ministry and counselling as a local Parish Priest.

Ken was an intelligent and compassionate man who dedicated his life to service, always supported by Polly, his steadfast partner.

To Polly, Rachel, Jamie, and their families, we extend our deepest condolences.

May Ken rest in peace

They were joined by 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥 (𝐏𝟔𝟎) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐛𝐲-𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 (𝐌𝟔𝟎), who also became part of Peterhouse later that same year.

It was an 𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑢𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 as these four founding Petreans returned to their alma mater, reflecting on the journey that brought them full circle. Many of them have continued their legacy by educating their children and grandchildren through Peterhouse.

One of them shared a heartfelt message of thanks, calling Peterhouse:
"A ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀꜰᴜʟ sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ, ᴏꜰ ᴄᴜʟᴛᴜʀᴇᴅ ʙᴏʏs ᴀɴᴅ ɢɪʀʟs, ᴀ ᴄᴜᴛ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇsᴛ."

We were truly honoured to welcome them back home for this special occasion! Thank you for celebrating with us.
