Eleanor Macintosh 1865

Walter was born on 4 March 1864, the son of Robart Hayward and Marian Milbank Abbot, at Chipping Ongar, Essex.
He attended Bishop's Stortford Grammar School, then King's College, London (B.A.). Admitted to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, Oct. 10, 1883; B.A. 1886; M.A. 1890.
He married Eleanor Macintosh on 1 January 1890. He served as Assistant Master at Royal Institute School, Liverpool for three years; then Craigmore College, Bristol, for one year.
Walter was head Master of The School for Sons of Missionaries, Blackheath, London, 1893-1914.
If you remember the film Chariots of Fire in which Eric Liddell refused to take part in an Olympic Games race on a Sunday; Eric was educated at the School for the Sons of Missionaries in Blackheath, London.
William Thorne, a boy at the School for the Sons of Missionaries from 1909 to 1915, writing much later of Walter Hayward, speaks of the fine record in scholarship and play (First Senior Optime in Mathematics at Cambridge University and at the same time an able oarsman), with which he came as Headmaster to the school. "His first task, and one he never relinquished, was to raise the educational standard.

He himself set the example: if he called for great efforts from his staff, he also was untiring. He not only carried a heavy burden of teaching, but also had his hand on every lever of school activity. All but a few of the boys were missionaries' sons, lads whose parents were abroad for long spells. Towards these quasi-orphans Hayward felt a responsibility far beyond that of an ordinary headmaster. He was always firm, almost invariably consistent, and everlastingly watchful."
"For the first few years of Hayward's regime, his wife [Eleanor, nèe Macintosh] managed the domestic side of the

school life, and did so with great satisfaction to the house committee" (T. Cocker Brown, pupil from 1894-9, writing later). "I was introduced to Mrs. Hayward -- how many memories her name evokes, to each of which no adjective save only 'gracious' fittingly applies." (Sydney Moore, writing later, on joining the staff as an Assistant Master). "W.B. Hayward came to Blackheath with his bride, a lady whose quiet graciousness was to do much in its unobtrusive way to soften the barbarity of boys largely removed from parental control." (William Thorne, pupil from 1909 to 1915, writing later).
