Obituary
Many Folkestone people will regret to hear of the
death of Mr. William Attwood, one of Folkestone’s best-known figures, after an
illness of about a week's duration at the residence of Mrs. A.E. Godden, his
daughter, Enbrook Manor House, Cheriton.
The late Mr. Attwood played a big part in making
Radnor Park the very delightful and attractive open space it is in the centre
of the town, for he was for a number of years the Park-keeper in the employ of
the Corporation. He was 78 years of age, and up to his last illness he was
remarkably vigorous, and certainly appeared to be considerably younger than
he was. A native of Rhodes Minnis, he came to Folkestone when quite a young man
in order to work at the Manor Office under the late Mr. W.B. Radford, Lord Radnor’s
agent. He subsequently entered the employ of the Corporation, and was
Park-keeper for 20 years. Then be became the licence holder of the Castle Inn at
Foord, and later took over the Bouverie Arms Hotel. He retired from that house previous to the war. On one occasion he sought
election for the Town Council, but was not successful.
He, however, always took a great interest in the town’s affairs. He was a
well-known local sportsman, and was for many years a member of the Folkestone
Club. He was one of the promoters of the Central Picture Theatre, and had quite
a large financial interest in it until the local company sold it His wife predeceased
him many years ago.
He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Godden, and one son, Mr.
Pat Attwood, of the Shakespeare Hotel. One of his grandsons is the captain of
the Folkestone Cricket Club.
The funeral will take place tomorrow (Saturday) at
the Folkestone Cemetery, Cheriton Road.
