RIP John Goodchild
« on: Saturday 14 January 17 14:04 GMT (UK) »
John Goodchild one of Wakefield's most knowledgeable historians and achivists died yesterday Friday 13th. January 6th

Part of a tribute to him in the Wakefield Express Friday 13th., reads

"Mr Goodchild wrote many books, was a member of Yorkshire Archaeological Society and a trustee of Westgate Chapel. After retiring, he established the John Goodchild Collection, which contains thousands of manuscripts, books, maps and illustrations from the 12th century onwards, now held at the Local History Centre on Kirkgate."

John Goodchild will be missed by all who knew him and those who knew of him.

Cheers
Guy

John actually died on the 6th of January, not the 13th.
