I am so sad to hear of Oliver's passing - a true gentleman, great furniture historian and a friend. My life has been a little brighter knowing him. My only regret is not spending more time with him.

Oliver was always loved and always will be. Wonderful memories of a kind and thoughtful friend.

Roger and Christine Edwards

I am so sorry to read of the loss of Oliver. I am lighting this candle on behalf of my mother (Margaret Bedford) who I believe knew Oliver and Christopher when she and her husband (Alan Bedford) lived in Germany to set up the German textile arm of Heals. She had incredibly fond memories of the family.

‘Service with a smile.’ You were always there, willing to serve Jesus in whatever way was needed. My memory in particular is of being greeted at 11am, thoughtful Sunday morning intercessions and your calm and reassuring presence. Also, the love and care between you and Annik. George is so grateful for your involvement with church tower maintenance and ringing matters. We miss you Oliver and feel blessed to have known you.
