Colin Higgs is 90!

Best birthday wishes to Colin Higgs, who celebrated his 90th birthday at the end of May.

Colin has been a mainstay of village life for many, many years; at times serving on the Parish Council, the Parochial Church Council, mowing the church grass, organising litter-picks and many other activities. He shows little sign of slowing down!

Colin was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to Aston Abbotts in the 2020 New Years Honours list.

You can read a year 2000 interview with Colin here.

Happy birthday Colin.
