Wedding bells for Winchester graduates They met on their very first day at the University of Winchester… Lucy Cody (BA Performing Arts, 2008-2011) and Robert Ferrin (BA Media Production, 2008-2011) moved into the same shared house at West Downs in September 2008. They instantly bonded when they discovered they were both from Kent, and that their home towns were only twenty minutes away from each other. Rob and Lucy soon started dating and eventually graduated on the same day in the same ceremony. The end of the degree was not the end of the road for the couple though. On Christmas Eve 14
2013 Rob took the plunge and asked Lucy to marry him… and last summer they tied the knot in the beautiful setting of the Rivervale Barn in Yateley. After completing an MA at Winchester in Digital Media, Rob is now a lecturer for the Film Production course at the University. Lucy is an infant school teacher in Basingstoke. Needless to say, we’re delighted that two of our graduates have not only gone on to have successful careers, but have also found true love at Winchester. We’d like to congratulate them both, and wish Rob and Lucy every happiness in their future lives together.
