When Rosie Alder at the shop in Market Street had a fire, the fireman asked me if I could get a builder, At MIDNIGHT, I phoned John and he came and sawed out the beam which was on fire so that less damage was done.

I have very fond memories of John over 55yrs, he was an apprentice to Monty Shayler from Finstock when we had what is now Greenfingers rebuilt inside.The foreman was Buzzer Pratley, who was probably the one who encouraged John to swing from the rooftops to the consternation of all who watched.

John has been a fixture on the streets of Charlbury for all the time we have lived here. We will miss him.

sorry hear the news.He will be missed by many. it was a pleasure to work along side him many years ago when i helped him refurbish a property in Market Street. I recall him being called "Johnny Market street" as he was always working in the same street for a number of years, going from building to building.
