ERIC HARTLEY'S STORY

Eric Hartley and his family have lived in Whitchurch-on-Thames for over fifty years. During that time he has opened up many public footpaths around the village that had fallen into disuse. Today, his annual walks down these beautiful paths and his booklet describing them have become a legend in his lifetime. This is his story in the "Whitchurch People" series of video biographies.

Heartwarming! We're so lucky to have Eric in our community!

Yes, a legend in his own lifetime!

We had the pleasure of meeting Eric this morning on our walk whilst our children were rowing. We’ve shared his link to all the parents of the towing club as I’m sure they would love a variety of walks whilst their children row. What a knowledgeable and charming man.

Thank you for your very kind and apt comment about Eric.

Hi I think your son maybe Philip, I went to school with him and your daughter Julia? I went Whitchurch primary school and then Langtree school woodcote.

Thanks for your comment. Philip and Julia are, I think, Eric's children whilst mine are Peter and Mandy Brazil both of whom went to Whitchurch Primary School. I simply made this biopic about the great man!
