Bill Burlingham - 1915-2011
Barwicker No.102
June 2011
Bill Burlingham, chauffeur to three generations of the Gascoigne
Family died peacefully at his home at Lotherton Hall on Friday 18
March 2011. Bill had lived in Aberford and Lotherton all his 95 years
and was a well loved and popular man in this area. His coffin was
taken to the chapel at Lotherton where it remained overnight before his
extremely well attended funeral at St Ricarius Church, Aberford, on
Monday 28 March.
Although in failing health for some time Bill had talked to the Barwick
Women's Fellowship when Martin Tarpey and T gave an illustrated
talk about our book The Spirit ofLotherton. Unfortunately due to our
Society meetings being held during the evening we were never able to
get him to join us during one of our talks about his life.
Our Society extends sympathy to his daughter Pat and the family. Bill
will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
