Burial on June 9 1961 of Alfred Ernest Cull, aged 75.
Alfred Cull, an invalid for a great part of his life, was a charming man of great courage and patience. He had been affectionately known from boyhood as Bassett, after a famous West Bromwich Albion footballer, because young Alfred, lame in one leg, showed no mean skill in kicking a football with the other one. “Uncle Bass” was a great favourite with children. His father was the village baker. On his death, Alfred and his brother took over the bakery, until poor health obliged them to give it up. In recent years, though unable to go out, he had derived great comfort from receiving the Sacrament at home.
