Gordon May was one of the first five writers and researchers on The Local History Group.

Gordon was born in 1933, the youngest of three boys. They lived in the little hamlet of Darvills Hill between Lacey Green and Speen, in a house with no gas, electricity, mains drainage or running water.

He attended Lacey Green School from the age of 4 to 14, throughout the 2nd World War, and he belonged to the Local Boy Scout Troop.

From an early age he attended Lacey Green Methodist Chapel and as an adult, he held several church offices. When the building was closed in 2001, he had been a member for 70 years, 37 of them as Super-intendant of the Sunday School.

Gordon also played football and cricket for Lacey Green for many years.

For the whole of his working life he was employed in the retail trade in High Wycombe.
