Pancake Day at Westminster School: A Traditional Edwardian Competition This photograph, taken in 1909, captures the essence of a time-honored tradition at Westminster School on Shrove Tuesday. The day, also known as Pancake Day, marks the beginning of Lent and is celebrated with a friendly competition among the boys. In this image, the Beadle, the school official, stands to the left, ensuring order and fairness. The Cook, responsible for preparing the pancakes, is seen in the background, ready with a hot pan. At the center, the victorious Scrambler triumphantly holds the largest portion, having skillfully tossed his pancake in the air and successfully caught it back on his plate. The boys at Westminster School, a prestigious private institution, eagerly looked forward to this annual event, which added excitement to their otherwise rigorous academic routine. The winner of the competition would receive a well-deserved guinea – a significant sum during that era. The tradition of Pancake Day at Westminster School is deeply rooted in history, with records dating back to the 16th century. This photograph serves as a testament to the school's rich heritage and the enduring customs that have shaped the lives of generations of students. The scene unfolds outside the school, under the open sky, reflecting the sense of camaraderie and joy that transcended the privileged walls of this esteemed educational institution. The boys, dressed in their formal uniforms, embody the spirit of healthy competition and the pursuit of success that continues to be a part of Westminster's legacy.
