Bill was the first to help when our barn roof came down in the storm. A true neighbour. With love to Mary.

A tribute to Bill
Dad farmed Higher Fernhallow for seventy years, first with his father and then with Robert. He knew every field by name, and every hedge, and most of the birds that nested in them.
He rang the bells at St Edith’s for over fifty years and never missed a practice night unless there was a cow calving. He judged the vegetables at the summer show and was famously hard to please.
Most of all he loved Mum, his family and this valley. We will carry him to the church on the farm trailer, as he asked, and we would love you to walk with us.

The tower will be very quiet without him. We will ring for him on the day.

Thinking of you all, Jenny. Your dad was one of a kind.
