Postcard not named but on the reverse it says ST.JOHNS CHURCH'S CHURCH BAZARR Dec 2, 3,4,5, 1914
So I'm presuming this photo is of the Vicar at that time?

The vicar in 1914 (until 1922)was the Reverend Edward Francis Forrest. Two of his sons were killed in the First World War.

We recently came across a newspaper clipping about the death of his sons. It was between the pages of the family bible (it belonged to my Gt grandparents). They married in 1892. The family attended St. John's. I keep meaning to scan it.
Hi Carol - long time ago since the last message - do you have the clipping, is it possible to see it please? Thanks. Pat Sharp
