BRIDGWATER'S CATHOLIC PAST

by

Wilf Drum


FOREWORD

"Bridgwater's Catholic Past" was originally written in serial form by Wilf Drum for VOX POPULI, the parish magazine of St Joseph's Church. It was published six times a year from Easter 1961 until Christmas 1972. The fourteen instalments appeared over 30 years ago - December 1966 to be precise.

Wilf was a chemist by profession but he had a keen inerest in local history, especially in the history of his church. He wrote of many prominent church workers, but it is not surprising: he was one of them.

He died on 27th January 1982, aged 81 years. His widow, Wynn, was still a loyal parishioner of St Joseph's until she left the parish several years ago.
