If memory serves me right, the Vicar' surname was CARTWIGHT. He used to ride a little motor cycle, and was often seen riding it around Beech Hill with his cassock flying behind him.
He performed my Wedding ceremony in 1968. I remember looking at his feet as we knelt for our Blessing. He was still wearing his bicycle clips! Must have been in a rush that day. It was difficult to keep a straight face!
