A Brief Biography.

I am 73 years of age, a native of West Sussex.
An engineer, I was apprenticed to the English branch of a failed American agricultural engineering company, Walter A. Wood & Co Ltd, formerly of Hoosick Falls in New York State.
Like all my generation I was called up for National Service in the Army, serving first with the Corps of Signals and then most of my time with the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers.
Soon after Demob, I was injured in an industrial accident which left me with a permanently disabled right arm and hand.

My last job before retirement was with the Southern Water Authority in charge of maintenance.
We retired to Norfolk in 1987, dealt in antiques for a while, then in 1992 found St.Mary's.
Brought up in the Anglican Faith I was delighted to have the opportunity to restore a Church.
Besides this work I have been a Churchwarden and bell ringer for some years.
I have a feeling this was meant to be, St.Mary's is now my life.
