Chris (1956-2024) was the loving and much-loved husband of Julie. A talented writer, Chris was a published author of nine novels and two non-fiction books. He had a BBC career of 31 years as an SM,  later as a producer of, among other programmes, ‘Midweek’. He also worked for years in the Jubilee Library in Brighton, and wrote a book ”Reading Allowed” based on his experiences. Chris and Julie moved to Ovingdean in 2020, and loved its views and the community. He became interested in art when he retired and his skill as a painter grew until his death. Chris held an exhibition of his art at Christmas 2022 and his pictures will be shown this May in the Artists’ Open House at the Village Hall. (Adapted from a notice in the "Ovingdean Newsletter")
