Famous Salopians - Part Two

Lord Hutton

After a scholarship at Shrewsbury School, John Hutton studied law at Oxford before returning to his home city of Belfast as a barrister. He became Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland in 1988 but returned to England in the late 1990s to become a law lord. Lord Hutton was involved in several controversial and high-profile cases including the September Dossier and the extradition trial of Augusto Pinochet. He has now retired.

    am i missing something here, perhaps i am wrong, but i thought a salopian was born within the county of shropshire, and those who attended shrewsbury school were old salopians. was michael palin born in shropshire? if we are discussing old salopians then how about lord michael heseltine, the late julian critchley mp, he loved shropshire as his mother and grand parents came from wistanstow. i also present as old salopians, the late great william rushton amongst other celebrities

    Oopps Julie, i think you might want to read what DevonSalopian said before commenting …

    He is saying, a “true” salopian, is someone born in Shropshire, not someone who attended to snobbish Shrewsbury School…

    that ok for you love?

    I thought this was about famous people from Shropshire, not famous people, from out of the area, who went to school in Shrewsbury?

    the definitions are i am sure, a salopian,is someone born in shropshire. a proud salopian, someone born in shrewsbury within the isthmus of the river severn. an old salopian is someone who went to shrewsbury schools.any body else who was not born in shropshire but who may live in shropshire are most welcome but are not and never will be a salopian. i count myself as being very honoured to have been born within the isthmus of the river severn.
