In ever loving memory of Christopher Bazeley
26th Sept 1944 - 29th Sept 2025
Chris died peacefully at home with his devoted wife, Rhea and his son Paul by his side. The funeral service will be held at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Blockley on 28th October 2025 at 12.00 noon. No flowers please but donations in Chris's memory would be welcomed for the restoration project of Blockley Church.

His resilience, positive attitude and incredible humour endured to the very end. He was a talented and accomplished artist, clockmaker, engineer and designer. He made light of his lifelong physical challenges resulting from polio as a baby and led a full, wonderful life. He was an inspiration to his family and many friends. His creative and humorous legacy is kept alive through his 2 children and 6 grandchildren.

As yesterday was National Poetry Day, you may enjoy this ❤️

If I made my way to the moon,
Would you come, just for a while?
I’ve missed your gentle hugs,
I’ve longed to see your smile.

I can't come to where you are,
There are no visiting hours,
And though I'd travel the distance,
I have no hidden powers.

If I reached that silver sphere,
Would your spirit join the flight?
In the silence of the cosmos,
We could share our thoughts at night.

The stars would be our blanket,
The universe our dance,
And with every whispered secret,
We’d seize just one more chance ..
