BiographyHando was born in Maindee, Newport, the son of a postmaster Alfred and his wife Miriam, and attended school there.[2] He had two younger brothers, Frank and Harry. He trained at Borough Road College, London, before returning to Newport as a teacher.[2] In the First World War he served as a gunnery officer in the Royal Engineers.[3][4] Hando married Alice Stanton, the daughter of a Newport builder, and the couple had two children – Margaret and John. Alice died while still young. After a number of years, Hando married again to Daisy, a staff member at his school. The couple soon had a son, Robert.[3] His interest in local history was given an impetus when he was asked to provide sketches to illustrate Sir Joseph Bradney's multi-volume History of Monmouthshire,[5] and his first articles about Monmouthshire were published in the South Wales Argus in 1922.[6] In total, he contributed 795 articles to the newspaper between then and 13 February 1970, a few days before his death.[6] Many of his articles and drawings were republished in anthologies of his work.[3] In his early writings, Hando was particularly interested in ley lines and the alignment of the sun with stone circles. He said that he wanted to add to what was already on the map and that by studying leys he could reach back in history far beyond Roman Britain.[7] In 1925 he was appointed as the first headmaster of Hatherleigh Road school in Newport, where one of his pupils was Johnny Morris, later a noted radio and television presenter. Hando adopted an open and progressive teaching style and was described by a Miriam Andrews, a former teacher at the school, as "a wonderful headmaster and he made the children very proud of Hatherleigh." Recalling his time at Hatherleigh, Morris wrote, in 1987:
Hando was also organist and choirmaster at Summerhill Baptist Church for many years.[3] In 1953 he was awarded the MBE for services to education and to Monmouthshire.[3] Hando died on 17 February 1970, at St. Joseph's Nursing Home, at the age of 81. His last article, on District and Street Names, appeared in the South Wales Argus just four days before he died.[6] LegacyAfter his death the Monmouthshire Local History Council set up several "Hando seats" at viewpoints in the county that he had considered to be particularly fine.[3] Funded by public subscription, the seats were located in Dixton churchyard; at Llandegfedd Reservoir; on Lawrence Hill, Newport; at the top of the Wyndcliff, St. Arvans; and near Keeper's Pond on the Blorenge near Blaenavon.[8][9] FamilyHis daughter, Margaret, was born in April 1916. She graduated from St Anne's College, Oxford, and later married Charles Smith, later Delacourt-Smith, in 1939. Her husband became a Labour MP in 1945 and later a Government minister, and was ennobled in 1967. She was a councillor and Justice of the Peace in Windsor in the 1960s.[10] After her husband's death, she was herself raised to the peerage in 1974 as Baroness Margaret Delacourt-Smith of Alteryn. She remarried in 1978[10] and died in 2010 at the age of 94.[11] Margaret's brother, from Hando's first marriage, to Alice, was John. Hando also had a son, Robert, from his second marriage.[22] Bibliography(all published by R. H. Johns, Newport, except where noted)
