Ray at home with his cat.
Ray had lived in Easton all his life. He was a keen walker and was knowledgeable on our local wildlife. He enjoyed taking photographs and when he died on the 4th June 2019, he left behind a large collection of photographs. There were quite a few historic postcards and historic views of the village. A small number have been scanned in and made available to the Easton web site.
