Bruce

Sadly, Bruce Jordan died early this morning in Polebrook nursing home after a short illness.

Many of us will remember Bruce and his wife Lois moving to the village over 20 years ago. They were active members of the church and our community in general, always welcoming and keen to help others. We’ll miss him, but know that all he’s wanted for these past 10 years since his beloved Lois died is to be with her and we hope he has finally found some peace. 

Funeral arrangements.

Bruce‘s funeral will be held at Saint Michael’s church in Great Gidding on Friday, the 17th of January at 11:30 am. The family welcome everyone to join them afterwards at the Fox And Hounds pub in Gidding.
