Sydney Charlwood, born in Evesham 81 years ago, came to live in one of the cottages in Blackminster when he married. Some years later, he and his wife moved into their present home, “Casaletta” in the Offenham Road at Blackminster. For more than 20 years, Mr Charlwood had a milk round, and it is thus that many of the older parishioners of Offenham, Littleton and Blackminster will remember him. Those of us who only met him in later years will remember him as one who was never happier than when working on his piece of land. We send our deepest sympathy in their sad loss to his family and specially to Mrs Charlwood, his widow.
