Our Society says thankyou Brian

Statement on behalf of the organising committee

Dear Members and Guests,

It is with great sadness that we have learned today that our founding chairman Brian Andrews has passed away at his home in Collyweston.

Brian founded our historical society in 1988 to try to learn more about Collyweston's rich historical past. He was soon joined by David and Elizabeth Close and all 3 ran the society until 2016.  During this time Brian was instrumental in obtaining some of the most important facts and research about Collyweston Palace.  He was a very knowledgeable historian, unbelievably talented artist, devoted husband and loving father.

We will for ever be in Brian's debt for the expertise and commitment he has shown to Collyweston Historical Society and I know you will want to join us at our AGM on Monday 7th October to pay tribute to Brian and give special thanks for his service.

Yours sincerely

Chris Close

Chairman

Collyweston Historical Society
