Frome College Art Department staff and students would like to create a memorial piece of artwork on site in memory of beloved Science teacher and Site Team member David ‘Titch’ Titchener. The large scale piece would be made from living willow to signify the importance of the care and commitment Titch made to our school grounds, whilst enhancing our compassion for the environment.
Titch was an integral part of Frome College for so many years. He was dedicated to all staff and students and had such a positive impact on everyone. A sculpture in his memory would highlight the long lasting dedication to our school and bring comfort to those who enjoyed his company and miss him, it would provide an opportunity to have something to visit and remember him.
Titch made a huge difference to the lives of many generations of Frome families. This is an opportunity to say thank you for everything he did.
Students, Staff working on site and visitors will benefit by remembering the impact Titch had on our school and local community through generations, his legacy and value to be remembered around site for all to see. Students and staff will be able to enjoy the piece of artwork for generations to come. In addition, taking part in the creation of the artwork and having a part to play in this important project would be an inclusive way of linking students to the history of this site.
Always helpful, always friendly... we miss him so much! This project, made with students and always living on, will be a great way of celebrating Titch every day... and putting smiles on our faces in his memory.
A fantastic man who has done so much for many in Frome both at Frome College and elsewhere. It would be wonderful to have this to remember him and all he did for people
Big love titch... you were my science teacher at the college and we worked together at the horse and groom pub. We were saddened to hear of your passing. And hope your soul rests in peace. A memorial would be such a beautiful addition to our community. I often wonder about the lost heros we all grew up with in Frome and how to communicate messages of love and gratitude. Thanks so much for your soul contribution to the universe Titch. Sadly missed. Amie-Jo xx
The school has lost one of its foundations. It will struggle to recover from this loss. One soul can make a big difference in people's lives. I will miss our long conversations and your guidance. This memorial piece of artwork will help the community come together.
Mr Titchener was my form tutor when I first started Frome College 34 years ago, it was his first term there as well so we were both new to the school. He was one of the few that I got on well with even with my sometimes crappy attitude at the time. He thoroughly deserves something to remember him by.
I loved old titch i remember winding him up saying ( sir you dont help burgess go an master bate then) i can say more now but fuck#ng hell told me too get out the room. Then miss Marshall at the time walked by i had too explain my self to her which she grinned an walked on. I couldn't believe when i heard good old teacher
