ANNA POPPLEWELL {FAMILY}
The Honorary Sir Oliver Bury Popplewell is Anna's 77-year old grandfather. He is a former High Court Judge who "In his time on the bench was one of the two High Court Judges assigned to deal with libel matters. He therefore dealt with a great many of the high profile cases coming before the Queen's Bench Division."
Besides his work credentials, Sir Oliver was also on the Cambridge cricket team as a wicketkeeper, and holds the record as the oldest freshmen in the history of Oxford University! At age 76, he went back and studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics.
Sir Oliver has written a published book of memoirs dealing with everything from his childhood to interesting cases in the court room!
Anna says "I love my grandfather, he's hilarious, especially his bushy eyebrows", and obviously they share the same love of learning.

Anna's father, Andrew John Popplewell is one of four boys. He works as a lawyer as a silk at the Brick Court Chambers. He has been called "clear, organised and persuasive, extremely sound, commercially intelligent and good on his feet",
"very bright and excellent to deal with", and "calm, clever and cheerful" by his colleagues. As for Anna, she notes that seeing her father at work has her to believe she is lucky to still be in school, because her schoolwork is nothing compared to her fathers!
Anna's mother, Debra Lomas Popplewell, has been an immunologist of paediatric dermatology at GOSH for 14 years. She also participates in the St. Bride's church, where she was a churchwarden from 2003-2005.
