Steven Lawn Memorial Lecture

On Friday 3rd October, Sherborne School was proud to welcome Sir Jeremy Greenstock who delivered The Steven Lawn Memorial Lecture. 

Sir Jeremy Greenstock was a British diplomat from 1969-2004. He was Her Majesty’s Special Representative in Iraq having succeeded Sir John Weston (OS) as British Ambassador to the United Nations in New York, a post which he held when the Twin Towers were destroyed in 2001.

The Steven Lawn Lecture is designed to perpetuate Steven’s name.  He was in The Digby boarding house at Sherborne School from 1987-1991 and was working in his office in the World Trade Centre when the planes hit on 11th September 2001.

Previous speakers have been Lord Butler, Lord Douglas Hurd, General Patrick Cordingly, Terry Waite and Camilla Batmanghelidjh.  The remit is to talk about International Relations and possibly Terrorism but each speaker is encouraged to treat the lecture in their own way.
