Swindon author and historian Martin Robins has announced his latest publication.

A new pamphlet entitled From My Headmaster's Study gathers sermons delivered by the late Matthew Cammish, and is the seventh in a series.

Mr Cammish, who died aged 98 in 2018, was one of the town's most respected educators.

In addition to leading Sanford Street Boys School and Drove Junior High School, he was president of the National Association of Head Teachers in 1978.

Martin Robins said the sermons were preached over a 70-year period.

The introduction to the pamphlet is provided by former Lord Advocate Lord Mackay of Clashfern, who writes: "Since the time of Jesus and Paul, motivated by the Holy Spirit, the baton of explaining to others the truth concerning the saving work of Christ has been handed on to expositors with their same authority, as we have seen in the six sets of sermons that have already been issued.

"I am therefore delighted to endorse this seventh set of similar quality, which I commend for your attention."
