Pam Morton
We were sorry to announce in July, the passing of Pamela Morton OBE, our great friend and Attend Vice President. We feel the space already left by this loss of a force of nature in the Friends movement. However, she will constantly be remembered for her witticisms, and through anecdotes. David Wood had the great honour of speaking at Pam’s funeral in York and included below is a copy of his eulogy to her, which we hope reminds us all of some of the many memories we have with Pam.

The older we get, the quicker the years seemed to pass. As a child, Christmas seemed to me to go on for ages! Now I am not saying anything, but it really does not feel like twelve months since I wrote my last New Years greeting to you all. Yet in that time a lot has happened and many of you have faced new difficulties as well as unexpected joys.

The Guild of the Royal Hospital of St. Bartholomew recently hosted a celebration for the hospital’s 900th anniversary in the newly restored Princess Alice Garden on Tuesday 12 September. Guild President Ann Wickham gave thanks to current Guild Patron His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester with a gift: a map of Barts drawn in 1617 depicting the area where the Princess Alice Garden would one day stand. This is just the latest of Ann’s extensive contributions to and achievements for the Guild, once again fortifying her as a crucial pillar supporting the Royal Hospital of St. Bartholomew.
