The
death of Colin Hotham, aged 94,
on June 13th is a great loss to
the Village.
Born
in Hull, he returned to the area
to live in Swanland in the1980s
after a distinguished career in
the Land Registry.
He was the first chairman of the
Swanland Village Association and
worked hard for it for many years.
He
could often be seen working either
by the pond (or in it !) with the
gardening group.
The daffodils on Greenstiles Lane
and the 30,000 crocuses planted
round the village owe a lot to Colin.
He even invented a special tool
to plant the crocuses!
From
2002 to 2007 he was Chairman of
the Parish Council, a period which
saw the old village school transformed
into the Village Hall. His enormous
amount of work led to its opening
in 2005,since when it has been very
successful.
The Village Hall is part of his
legacy to the Village and we are
grateful for all he did. |
