Stalwart of our local farming community, Mike Frampton, 82yrs, died peacefully last Friday morning at Dorset County Hospital following a short period of illness.
The patriarch of the Frampton family leaves behind his wife Jean, with whom he recently celebrated their Diamond wedding anniversary, their three children: Gillian, Tim and Andrew, 10 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
The family have farmed in the parish for 108 years and Michael could often been seen leading his sheep through the village or driving cattle from the fields of Lewesdon back to Burstock. One of the other things some villagers will miss is his spontaneous piano playing at the Comrades Hall where he made everyone smile with his unique Les Dawsonesque style.
Our condolences go out to them all.
Mike Frampton’s funeral will be a private service at St John the Baptist Church, Broadwindsor on Friday 27th November at 12noon in accordance with current pandemic legislation.
The Cortège will arrive at the church around 11.45am into the village square from where some may stand and watch, socially distanced and wearing masks. There will be speakers allowing the service to be carried outside.
Donations on the day to the Stroke Association please, c/o A J Wakely & Sons Bridport.
