He was ordained in 1959 and after service in several parishes spent eight years as Director of the Warwickshire Rural Community Council.With a family of three children, he retired in 1993. Looking for the Painter is now on sale at the Fleur de Lis, price 2.95 (3.95 by post to UK).An attractive chapbook-style cover by Jack Salmon features the main buildings involved in the story John has to tell - Arden's House, the old NW tower of Faversham Church and 6 Market Place. <a href="http://www.zoominfo.com/CachedPage/?archive_id=0&page_id=1373324433&page_url=//www.faversham.org/society/newsletters/nl1105.asp&page_last_updated=2005-12-26T06:57:27&firstName=John&lastName=Wrake">Source</a>
