| − | It is with deep regret that our church reports the sad loss of one of its oldest and most loyal members in the passing of Mr William Joseph Claydon. Joe, as he was known to all, was born in 1904 in Lacey Green, the village which was his home for the whole of his life. His life-long interest in the Methodist Church began as a boy scholar in the Sunday School, later to become a Sunday School teacher for over 50 years, but the most important office he held with great dedication for over 60 years was as Society steward.
