Dr Flower took over as villiage Dr. from Dr. Cane in 1951, moving into the Limes. He moved away in 1965 after the death of his wife. His brother, killed in WW2 serving the RAF, is commememorated by a large brass lecturn in the church. He later became a ship's doctor but died during a fire on board the ship.
