IN MEMORY
PETER LINGHAM
The Committee of the Society is saddened to hear of the passing of local farmer Peter Lingham in January. Peter was a stalwart of the Society, instrumental in setting it up forty-seven years ago in 1977, and he became its first President, holding the office for many years. He was a magnificent fund-raiser for the building of the Jubilee Hall in Upper Halling and served the community for many years as a parish councillor. Peter was the third generation of the Lingham family farming at Court Farm, going back to 1871, and with two further generations following him. The Society sends its condolences to the Lingham family, who can be proud of the wonderful contribution Peter made to the Halling community.
