Frank A. Collymore

Frank Appleton Collymore (1893–1980), teacher, literary editor, writer, poet, actor and painter, was the long-standing editor of Bim literary journal. The Frank Collymore Hall is name after him and the Frank Collymore Literary Endowment was established by the Central Bank of Barbados to honour his memory by recognising, supporting and rewarding literary talent in Barbados.
