	Greyfriars School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greyfriars School is a fictional English school used extensively as a setting in the Billy Bunter series of novels by the writer Charles Hamilton who worked under the nom de plume of Frank Richards.
		Its proximity to the sea and the nearby location of hop fields indicate that the author very clearly had a location in Kent in mind, and this is borne out in the school's address.
		Grey Friars School also appears as a fictionalised version of Charterhouse School in some of the novels of William Makepeace Thackeray, particularly The Newcomes.

	Billy Bunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Billy Bunter, the "Fat Owl of the Remove", was a fictional character created by Charles Hamilton (using the nom de plume of Frank Richards) as for stories set at Greyfriars School in the boys' weekly magazine The Magnet.
		His tight trousers against which boots and canes are constantly thudding, his astuteness in search of food, his postal order which never turns up, have made him famous wherever the Union Jack waves.
		One of the appeals of the stories is Richards's ability to evoke a whole school.

		The overweight schoolboy oaf William George Bunter, known to one and all as the 'Fat Owl Of The Remove', was the invention of the writer Charles Hamilton, who worked under the pseudonym Frank Richards.

		He played the role throughout the series but his fellow pupils and the masters of Greyfriars School were portrayed by different actors during the show's long run.

	Esla Morris
		At the recent annual luncheon of the Old Hilarians' Association at Bishop Anstey High School, Esla Morris was alone for the first time ever and we all wondered what had happened to her six or more peers of the 1920's era with whom she would normally sit at the same table each year.
		The panama hat, which should have been worn at all times outside the school, says Esla with a twinkle in her still very bright eyes "never touched my head unless we were with Madam, it hung on my bicycle handle.
		It was while at Greyfriars that the late Mr Willard Grant found out that Esla wasn't too happy teaching in Diego Martin: "the town school had spoiled me", and started making arrangements to fit her into his firm.

	BILLY BUNTER and THE MAGNET, Bill's Paper
		Tom Brown, epitome of the boarding school schoolboy, was the name given to the New Zealand representative at Greyfriars; and there is even mention made of the All Blacks in one Magnet story.
		'Greyfriars,' he wrote, 'gave us one moral code, life another, and a fine muddle we made of it.' The 'simple tales' were 'distorted into myth'; the characters were 'unsullied by [the] early cares of adolescence.
		What Orwell could have acknowledged, of course, was that these readers were prepared to suspend their disbelief and enter wholeheartedly into the world of Greyfriars in the same way that readers of other fictional worlds are prepared to do, particularly those readers of modern fantasy and, indeed, followers of long established television soap operas.

		Locke appeared in a number of British story papers; he crossed over with Sexton Blake and was related to Dr. Locke, the Headmaster of the Greyfriars school.
		Not all of Locke's adventures were so world-spanning, though most were; sometimes he was involved in more mundane and closer-to-home crimes, as when Lancaster, the Greyfriars student who was also the legendary cracksman "The Wizard," finally had to deal with his two lives being in conflict.
