Peter Scott October 23rd, 2023
Peter Bowes was a great man, a fervent Weardalian with a passion for the Durham Dales and people. From generations of children at Wolsingham School who were inspired to learn more, like me, through running a Saturday club for local teenagers, founding the Weardale Gazette so we knew what was happening in the dale, finding time to write successful books on local history as well as being a faithful member and local preacher of the Methodist Church - we have cause to be grateful for all that he achieved and did for others. Rest in peace, Peter, faithful to the end of a life well-lived. Signed: Peter Scott, Wolsingham School 1954 - 1961
