Extra information in the Parish Magazine

William Henry Churchill died on December 26th, aged 91, and after cremation his ashes were later deposited in the Garden of Rest in Badsey Churchyard. As the Garden of Rest is a memorial to Charles Arthur Binyon, this was most fitting, since the two men were partners in market gardening in the 1890s and early 1900s, and lifelong friends. He was one of the great Badsey growers, a founder-member of the LBG and active till a great age. Originally a member of the Church of England, he became a keen Methodist, and also a supporter of the Badsey Friends Mission.
