Yvonne Dorothy Daw

24th April 1947 to 27th December 2023

Derek Daw wishes to announce that he has had great pleasure in donating £700 to Cottesbrooke Church from plant sales. The plants were propagated by his late wife, Yvonne, who had raised plants in her nursery at Station Road, Cottesbrooke for many years for the church and other charities.

Yvonne was a well known Horticulturalist, Head Gardener at Coton Manor followed by Head Gardener at Cottesbrooke Hall and was a well known Show Judge throughout the Midlands.

It was wonderful that so many people, in fact 191, attended the Memorial Service for her in Cottesbrooke Church, which was beautifully conducted by the Rev.  Allison Twigg.

Derek and his family would like to thank everyone for their condolences and help over the last months.

Many people are lucky enough to capture a picture of one Green Woodpecker, but here Steve Nicholas has managed a pair. They are colourful characters with a taste for ants, and their laughing cry is one of the defining sounds of the British woodland.
