Tower and Town, October 2025 (view the full edition)Audrey Peck: A T&T TributeAudrey Peck, who died recently at the age of 91, was given the warmest of tributes by her daughters in the September edition of Tower and Town. The article mentioned that she compiled the Family News for the magazine. This she did for several years, as well as being one of over fifty volunteers who distribute copies around the town. She took on Family News from Caroline Loveday in August 2012 and passed it on to Jessy Pomfret at the end of 2018. With her strong roots in the community, she seemingly had no difficulty in attracting 'copy' or digging it out, calling herself unfairly and inaccurately a 'busybody': she just knew people and they knew her. Her first article for Tower and Town in the autumn of 2012 contained five items of Family News and the last under her name nearly 8 years later in February 2019 six items. What commitment, what service! Sue Tulloh writes: Audrey was supporting Tower and Town for many years before I became responsible for distribution. After she moved to Castle Court, having lived on The Green for many years, she took on distributing the magazine there when the gentleman who had done it before gave up. She was always so helpful and looked for new subscribers as new residents arrived. She also found someone to replace her when she found it too much. She will, I know, be much missed by many. Audrey was a stalwart of the magazine and we miss her cheerful commitment. We all at Tower and Town send our warmest wishes and condolences to Audrey's daughters and the rest of her family.
