The vicar is Arthur Dean and after completing a future walk collapsed and died outside the church. His doctor had advised him to use a wheelchair, but he insisted on walking. My wife says he watched the last walker come back and then he died. She watched them carry him into a house opposite.

Mr. Dean christened me.
