Eulogy for Robin Gurnett
Rob was always one for a good
funeral, weekly checking the local
newspaper for people he knew who
had passed away (not sure if it was
because he would get invited back
for the food after).
A very generous Man, when my wife and I needed
to move to a small village some 24 years ago
without a second thought he said for us to come and
move next to him at Rosemary Cottages after his
Mother Clara died.
Rob and I have been best friends for 43 years, with
our combined interest in antiques, in fact we met at
an auction and subsequently many adventures were

elected Honorary President of Friends of Blue

subject, always injecting a little humour in his talks.
He was of course involved in the local History

Robin Gurnett
Many people in the Village will have far more
recollections of Robin Gurnett than I have.
However as part of the History Society and with a
typographic background working with Robin on
some of his publications had generated a close
friendship. His interests extended beyond his
specialist ceramic knowledge and conversations
on work, travel, writings and lectures offered a
more comprehensive picture of his background in
spite of the limited time I knew him. A great
many of his ideas and publications will now not
be finished but as a tribute to him it is anticipated
that the booklet on the Prisoner of War Camp can
be completed. It is a sad loss to the Village and
History Society and indeed on a personal note to
me.

At the time the plaque was erected, the Institute very effective at raising standards
