Yet another familiar figure is lost to Badsey in the person of Mr Henry Byrd, who died on Saturday, May 23rd. Although Mr Byrd was for many years non-resident, he never severed his connection with Badsey, where he will long be remembered as one of the most considerate of landlords. The funeral, which was choral, took place on Wednesday, May 27th, a muffled peal being given by the ringers, several of whom were tenants under Mr Byrd.
