Was heading over to the infamous James turner street for a good old gorp...must say we did have a giggle. We then went over to the old codger’s home in Brum. Yet again a moon lit visit and my compact cam which is dyer! Sorry guys I did my best.
Father H was the founder of Father H’s Society. This charitable organization was dedicated to the care of many thousands of children in desperate need in the Midlands region of England, and it still operates to this day. Father H was born in 1873 in Worcestershire. He was ordained a priest on 1 November 1898. From his earliest days in the small parish in Brum, Father H formulated ideas to reach out and help destitute children. The Bishop knew of Father H's ideas and so asked him to undertake the rescuing of the children for the Diocese of Brum. The Brum Diocesan Rescue Society was formally set up in 1902. It became known as "Father H’s Homes" since he was the driving force behind the operation. Father H remained at Brum from 1898 to 1934. During that time it grew and expanded including St V's, a home for working boys, St. E's Boys Home and St. G's Hospital for children. St G’s & St J’s cottage working home for boys. Father H retired in 1934 due to ill health and in 1936 he died. He is buried in the grounds of the Society in Brum.
1975: Eric T fined pounds 250 by Worcester magistrates after admitting five indecent assaults on boys while a parish priest in the Warndon area.
1988: All Father H’s homes closed as residential units for children. Although Father H's Society still carries out social work from its base in Brum.
1997: Eric T worked as a supply priest until 1996 before moving to Austria. It was during a visit home that he was arrested in February.
1998: Eric T found guilty of 16 indecent assaults and two other serious sex offences, between 1957 and 1965, and sentenced to seven years jail.
1999: Police inquiry opened but later closed into allegations that a teenager was beaten to death at the Brum home in the 1950s.
2001: Eric T dies in Risley Prison, near Warrington, aged 81.
2008: A new victim comes forward for first time to tell of abuse at the Brum home and shed light on the murder allegations.
