Christopher Lindley, of Castle Rising, worked for many years as the executive of Churches Together in King’s Lynn, supporting those in and around the area.

Born on June 8, 1926 in the family home in Buckinghamshire to Harold and Muriel, Christopher was the youngest of four siblings, Michael, David and Helen.

Despite being baptised the month after his birth, in Great Missenden’s parish church Saint Peter and Paul, he recalled seldom attending church until boarding school.

Just before the age of nine, he was enrolled at Bowden House in Seaford where a weekly Sunday service was undertaken in the school chapel.

In 1940, he moved to Bryanston School in Blandford and it was here that his faith moved to the next level.

Bryanston made use of the parish church for Sunday services and had a chapel in the grounds, and it was here he was confirmed in 1941. As a gift, he received a prayer book from his father........
