It is with much sadness I have to report the death of my father, Bert Norton on 17 April. Many of you will remember my mother and father who ran the Peacock from 1966 until 1985. You may also remember his characteristic calling of ‘time’ – “Ain’t you lot got no homes to go to, you’re not on your daddy’s yacht now!” After a long and happy retirement, sadly he developed dementia and spent the last year and a half in River Meadows care home in Kineton. He was a great character and will be missed.
