I visited All Saints Parish Church at Milton Ernest yesterday (09/04/15) to add another piece to the Wing Commander John Michael Bryan research jigsaw. But it went further than that.

John Michael Bryan is on the war memorial below.

He also remembered on his mother’s – Lucy Silver Bryan – gravestone. As is his father, John Thomas Ingram Bryan, who was vicar there for 10 years 1935-1945.

They lived at the vicarage, now privately owned and called The Old Rectory. The family now living there kindly allowed me to take some photographs.

The house holds significant times and memories for the family.

Three more stops in France in July and John Michael’s story is more or less complete.
