- Kathy Staff, Nora Batty in Last of the Summer Wine and Doris Luke in Crossroads, has had a memorial window installed at St Mark's Church in Dukinfield. Friends and family paid tribute to the actress who died aged 80 in 2008. The window was dedicated on Advent Sunday, November 27th 2011. In March this year Kathy also had a blue plaque placed on the outside of the Church Hall.
My husband and I stumbled upon Last of the Summer Wine after a move to Virginia. A lovely show and a cast we’ve adopted as friends. Rest In Peace, dear lady.
RIP Kathy Staff, you were one heck of a great actress! Saw you as Nora and laughed my head off.
Nora batty was at her best with bill Owen's Compo

RIP Nora Kathy Staff,Love you
Loved you and your character on Last of the Summer Wine.Window is a fitting tribute to you.
Just one thing I always thought odd was the ever present “curlers” and your hair was never curly.
God love you Kathy !!
I had a antique shop in Olney bucks and Kathy came in one day. She was lovely.
Bless u Kathy🙏 Hope u are dancing in the sky sweetheart❤🙏🇿🇦
I loved the show "Last of the /Summer Wine" I never see it anymore. I wonder how many of the characters are gone and if any are still with us...
if you put in search for cast of-last of summer wine-it will tell you who is still alive sadly very few of them-especially from early years
I watch them when I need a laugh, I don't care how old it is.
I love Last Of The Summer Wine.Like Kathy I am an Anglican Christian(Church Of Ireland) and it is good to see a successful actor/actress who kept their Christian faith all through their life and never appeared in any shows that the whole family couldn't watch. Same goes for Dame Thora Hird and perhaps some of the other stars who appeared in Last Of The Summer Wine. I'm glad the curtain over the window was wasn't as wrinkly as Nora Batty's stockings.😄😄😄 God truly blessed us by giving us Kathy Staff.
Bill Compo Owen, has been appearing in films since the nineteen forties/ fifties some comedy, some drama such as The Girl Who Couldn't Quite, where he played a tramp, he even appeared in thrillers like The Boat That Died Of Shame, he played the engineer which started Richard Attenborough and George Baker, about three ex World War two sailors who turn to smuggling in post war England,
@@alexbernard8907 He also starred in one of the early black and white Carry On films,Carry On Seargent I believe.
@@adrianbradley8513 yes it was Carry On Sergeant, starring William Hartnell, as the Sergeant, and Bill Owen as his Corporal, it also had Bob Monkhouse, in his only Carry On film as a man conscripted on his wedding day, Bill, made a lot of films some he only had a guest appearance in, like the 1 that co starred a pre James Bond Sean Connery On The Fiddle, I've got all the Carry Ons on DVD boxset except that Columbus one, which is a dreadful film, he also had cameos in What Ever Happened To The Likely Lads, I forgot to mention Bill, was also in Carry On Nurse as a bed ridden patient he had bit parts in Regardless and Cabby,
I'd never seen that clip of Crossroads before. Almost a slip up by Pamela (Kath) who goes to say Kathy, instead of Doris. Quickly corrected!
Not good looking on the outside maybe, but beautiful all the same. God bless you Kathy Staff (Doris Luke/Mrs Blewitt/Nora Batty).
God she was brilliant!!
Poor man died 4 weeks later on xmas day. RIP
With his wife again
A beautiful window. What a pity that the video is a bit small to see clearly.
Wouldn't be the same without her in it..,.lovely presents, because she was there
If Kathy Staff had lived in the 30s & 40s she would have made a GREAT foil for Laurel & Hardy, the Marx Bros., WC Fields, the 3 Stooges and Abbot & Costello. (I could see Nora Batty giving Moe, Larry n Curly the ol' Tripple Slap!)
Goodbye miss batty hope you find mister simmonite up there somewhere
I am not sure if NB would agree! Haha
@@georgealderson4424 lol probably right but who knows
@@chrishawkins8859 Well if they both went to the same place and you and I join them one day we will find out if she is bashing the poor man with her broom as usual Chris!
@@georgealderson4424 yep and if he'll be grabbing her and hanging on as always
@@chrishawkins8859 Haha He will be wrapping her up in his wings (or trying his best anyway!)
