Geoff Gomme said this of Bill Attridge, when he died.

I can't say that Bill was born in Lacey Green, but he lived here so long that he was accepted as one of us. Originally from Scull, County Cork, he came to England in 1931 after hearing that the then vicar of Haddenham needed a gardener. He'd been working on a farm in Ireland (long hours for scant reward, I imagine). He was one of six brothers and one sister - the boys, I believe, all followed him here. Bill liked to watch the cricket and enjoy a pint afterwards. He was 98.
