Education

I have had a sudden ghastly thought that the Sir John Maynard who founded Maynards School may have been the Sir John Maynard KB, for the confounding of whom with our Sir John Maynard Lord Campbell is so sternly criticised. I will research further and return... 45ossington (talk) 13:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No - I think we're all right: the trustee of Elize Hele was John Maynard, serjeant at law: [1]

Joan Norkot

Why doesn't this article mention the strange case of Joan Norkot- A murdered woman who somehow came back to life for a few seconds-even though she had already decomposed? Maynard actually saw this happen, and left an eye-witness account of it. Would be an interesting addition.bob bobato (talk) 15:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
