My name is Valerie and I lived in Caversham Road just a few doors away from St Luke’s church when I was a child. I remember the vicar Richard Butler and his wife who was our local GP for many years. I went to school with their two children, Rachel and Andrew and used to play with them at the vicarage. Sadly they all moved away to London eventually and Malcolm Johnson took over as the vicar.
Does anyone remember the old banger mini bus that Mr Butler would take the local kids out in on Sunday after church, to Sutton Park? Happy days!!
