Rung immediately after the Thanksgiving Service for the life of Peter Pooley CMG, friend of St John's church and the town of Alresford, who died on 15th April 2026, aged 89 years.

“…Dad made an impression on everyone he met. He was much loved - by those who worked with him at the Ministry of Agriculture, and at the European Commission (where he was Director General), and by his local town of Alresford - where he was renowned for his column in the Parish magazine, for his hilarious lectures on everything from composting techniques to the Cod War, and for his stylish, often eccentric dress sense, usually involving hats…” (Clare Pooley, daughter).
