A former Lowdham resident and life member of Lowdham Horticultural Society, Fred Jervis, has recently died aged 88.

Fred was an active member of the Society for many years, some local residents might remember his small allotment at the side of the W I Hut.

Due to relocation at work Fred and Joan left Lowdham for Lincolnshire where he promptly set about creating a lovely new garden.  His love of gardening, vegetables and flowers kept him going for many years.
