I would like to bring it to the attention of the Bristol Historical Association members that John Williams, Bristol City Archivist 1988 – 2012, died suddenly at home on 27 Dec.

John provided great support to the Branch’s members and authors during his time as City Archivist and I’m sure that there must still be those who remember him and would want to know the sad news.

His funeral is on Thursday 30th January at 2.15pm at Coychurch Crematorium Bridgend CF35 6AB with tea afterwards at Heronston Hotel CF35 5AW.
