I was so very sad to hear the news that one of our favourite contributors, Clifford Bloomfield, has died. He was a staunch supporter of “Rye’s Own”, we have published so much of his work over the years.
His daughter Sarah posted this moving message on the Rye’s Own News Group this morning :-
“Morning ..just thought I’d send you a message and let you know that my dad Clifford Bloomfield ..of Aronford Leasam Lane, passed away on Friday morning at home with his family ….as I know he was often adding to Rye’s Own and a local Rye historian, absolutely devoted to Rye history ..and a very active member of Rye History Group..and author of several small books including ”Wings Over Rye”… ..funeral date and arrangements to follow …
