Description

A Chorister's Tale by Peter W. Gibson is a personal account of life at Durham School and Cathedral from 1928 to 2012. Born in the industrial northeast of England, Gibson recounts his childhood during and after the Depression before joining the school's choir as a chorister. Gibson's time as a chorister was marked by wartime years, both at school and at the cathedral, where he faced severe restrictions on everyday life. His career ambitions shifted from teaching to medicine, but were disrupted by Conscription into military service in the 1950s. Instead, Gibson pursued dentistry at Durham University, with plans to qualify in medicine later. The result was a 44-year career in the National Health Service, shaped by his experiences as a chorister and during wartime.
