Frank Smallwood taught for 44 years (1911-1955) at Sir Walter St John's School, Battersea. When he retired, he was invited to write a history of the school, which was founded in 1700. He collected much information about the school over the period 1955-1970 but then his interests moved away from the school to the St John family and the local history of Battersea.
