Brian Kenneth DENT

1938-2006

The son of a master baker Brian came to Framlingham in 1950 and when he left five years later had established his place in the Cricket XI and gained his First XI colours, it being noted that he ‘ bowled his off-breaks - which he is not afraid to pitch up – with considerable effect’. With a great interest in the countryside, from an early age, it was not surprising that Brian became a farmer, a career he followed all his life, always supported by Ann whom he married in 1960. He continued his love of sport, particularly cricket, becoming captain of Spooner Row Cricket Club and Wymondham Hockey Club. When he was no longer able to play his sport he became a keen spectator, especially of Norwich City.

Well liked at school, Brian retained his links with Framlingham and many OFs in Norfolk and beyond, will always be grateful that he took on the task of organizing the Norfolk Suppers. For ten years Brian carried out this duty, even as his illness took its toll, and only reluctantly relinquished it in the last weeks of his life. He will be sorely missed.
