"Chris and Kathleen will live on in our memories for many years due to the amazing work they did as a couple in putting together the Register of Old Scholars from 1808 - 1998. We refer to it every day to give us information about Sidcotians." With grateful thanks... The Alumni Team, Sidcot School. Below is Chris' own extract from The Register:

Kathleen and Chris attended many Easter Reunions over the years and I'm sure many people have very fond memories of them.

Chris’ funeral will be held at the New Forest Crematorium in New Milton on Wednesday 28th October 2027 at 11.30, and there is to be a Memorial meeting in the Quaker Meeting House in New Milton at 4.30pm. The family has said that all are welcome to attend.
