In 1972 a History of LWC was published covering
the years up to 1968 under the title The Lord
Wandsworth Foundation 1912-1968. It was given the
subtitle from Orphanage to Public School and was
written by the then LWC Head of History Bill Fryer.

The Sternians orginially produced simple Address Lists of members in 1952, 1967 and 1988. However the then Sternian Administrator John Matson produced in 1991 what was the first edition of WhosWho. This was considerably extended by Stewart and Jon Edwards in edition 2 in 1998 and in 2003.
WhosWho included the names of all pupils of Lord Wandsworth College since it opened in 1922 as well as all known names from the (Old) Gosden School at Bramley from 1920 until its closure.
