In 1885, having just finished his second year studying law at Oxford University, Randle Holme decided to spend his summer vacation exploring the forests of Brazil.
Randle Fynes Wilson Holme (1864-1957) had attended Sherborne School (School House) from May 1878 to July 1883. He was a scholar and in 1882 was Head of School (look for his name on the Heads of School boards in the BSR).
