We are very sad to report the death of Brian Hammett, a Vice-President and former Trustee of the Nancy Blackett Trust.

Brian died on September 20th following a massive heart attack. He had been very ill for some time with kidney failure.

Brian had been an enthusiastic supporter of Nancy Blackett since her restoration – he and his wife Lorna attended the celebratory relaunch dinner given by Mike Rines at the Butt and Oyster in 1989.

He will be greatly missed, and our condolences go to Lorna, their daughters Trish and Clare and their grandchildren. 

Details of the funeral arrangements will be announced when available and a full obituary will be published in this autumn’s Trust newsletter.
