It is with much sadness that I can let you know that Jim Linnell died in Northampton General Hospital on Friday, 15 September 2023 at the age of 92.  He had a fall and never fully recovered after surgery to mend his hip.

He was born on 7 February 1931 and started to ring in 1943 at Whittlebury.  He was tower captain at Greens Norton, Bradden and Easton Neston for many years.

The funeral will be at St Bartholomew's Church, Greens Norton at 12.00 noon on Wednesday, 11 October.  There will be a gathering at the Butcher's Arms in Greens Norton after the interment.

Parking at the Church and pub is limited.  It will help if people use the Recreation Ground car park.
