Boddington families

Notes for Alan Peter BODDINGTON

The tributes and address at Alan's Service of Thanksgiving attested to his total devotion to his parishioners as well as his family. He was said to have declined promotion to Bishop because it would have taken him away from the community. He was a good golfer particularly during his retirement and well into old age. Bird watching was a favourite activity. He wrote poetry and his children have put together an anthology. One of his best poems, Hands, was read at his Service of Thanksgiving at St. Peter's church, Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire. [269]
