“We moved to Hook in 1976 and once our children reached school age, they attended St Paul’s school, which is associated with St Paul’s Church. At that time, Mr Giles was the vicar and Bill Mullinger the rector. From memory, Bill was a regular patron of the North Star. For a few years, on bonfire night, Mr Giles and Bill arranged a bonfire party for local people in the garden of the church, plus a burger stall.
“Although not churchgoers, when she got married, our daughter, who was living in Morden, insisted that she was married at St Paul’s.”
