Here is the certificate presented to Harry commemorating his life time achievement as church organist at Little Wilbraham church for 68 years. It would seem a church organ fund was set up in his name, does anyone know if the fund was successful in achieving a new church organ? Or is the original one that Harry played still in service today?
I hope that everyone has enjoyed reading this thread. This hand crafted work of art seems to be a fitting tribute to my Grt Grandfathers services to the church and local community. He lived at The Gate Inn where he was the local baker and publican for most of his life with his wife Martha Susan Fulcher originally of Chesterton. The Gate Inn backed onto the churchyard so his journey to work (hobby) was merely a walk down the garden path and a hop over the fence.
Would love to hear from any one researching the Fulchers of Chesterton or anyone else who may have family memories of the Wilbraham villages.
