Researching and reporting on the lives of some really interesting people (RIP)

TREV HAYSOM, aged 81

Eleventh generation of a family of stone masons from Dorset, he was the world expert on Purbeck Marble. He worked on all the main cathedrals and many castles.

IAN HAMILTON KC, aged 97

Liberation or theft? He committed one of the most scandalous ‘crimes’ of the 1950s, but it didn’t stop him going on to become a barrister.

LADY MARY RUSSELL, aged 88

As her family were friends with the Royal Family, she was chosen to be one of Queen Elizabeth’s Maids of Honour at the Coronation. She had vivid memories of the occasion.
