The Reverend Aubrey Upjohn is a recurring fictional character from the Jeeves and Drones Club stories of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being the Headmaster at Malvern House Preparatory School during Bertie Wooster's tenure there. OverviewAubrey Upjohn was the headmaster of St. Asaph's preparatory school in Bramley-on-Sea, attended by Freddie Widgeon (in "Bramley Is So Bracing"). In other stories the name of the school is Malvern House, attended by Bertie Wooster and several of Bertie's friends. In some books the name of Bertie's headmaster is given as "Arnold Abney", but he appears to be the same person. Aubrey Upjohn appears most in one book, Jeeves in the Offing. At the time of this story, he has left his post at the school. He becomes the target of a libellous article by Kipper Herring. He threatens to initiate a litigation, but Jeeves, as usual, smooths things out. At one time, he marries Jane Mills, a friend of Aunt Dahlia who later dies. He is the guardian of her daughter, Phyllis Mills. {{Expand section|date=May 2008}}StoriesAubrey Upjohn is featured in:
