Here new playing fields were laid out, named the Geoffrey Hughes Athletic Grounds in memory of the donor's brother killed in the war. These grounds were more commonly known as 'Wyncote'. In 1929 additional land was acquired to expand these facilities and in 1962 a new pavilion was erected, designed by Gerald Beech of the Architecture Department.
