He was ordained in 1959 and after service in several parishes spent eight years as Director of the Warwickshire Rural Community Council.With a family of three children, he retired in 1993. Looking for the Painter is now on sale at the Fleur de Lis, price 2.95 (3.95 by post to UK).An attractive chapbook-style cover by Jack Salmon features the main buildings involved in the story John has to tell - Arden's House, the old NW tower of Faversham Church and 6 Market Place.
