George lived in Hurstpierpoint for more than 50
years. He was one of the last remaining members of Hurstpierpoint Fire Brigade who remembered the days when the firemen had to catch their horses before they could proceed to a fire. He became Chief Officer and was awarded a Long Service Medal 1914. He retired in 1936. For twenty years he was gardener to Mr Arthur Weeks at the Mansion House, Hurstpierpoint, and for many years was a successful exhibitor at local flower shows. In his younger days he was a chorister at the Parish Church. He belonged to the local Bowls Club, Mid Sussex Whist League and the Chailey branch of Odd Fellows. |
