Pete Field's Funeral

Many of you would have known Pete Field from Hedger’s in the middle of the village. You can read more here, and there is a nice tribute to him on the Littlehampton Gazette website. Pete’s funeral will be on Wednesday, 4th April at midday at St Mary the Virgin church in Station Road. All are welcome but the family requests family-only flowers.

Pictures of St Mary the Virgin Church

We got this message from a past resident (Richard Knisely-Marpole) of East Preston …

Born and raised in EP, I now live in Derbyshire. During a visit to EP a couple of years ago, I took the time to look round some of the places from my life there. One building that I had never really noticed was the church, but during my visit I was pleased to be able to photograph it. The images can be seen here
