Alyson Stone (r.i.p.)
A message from the sons of John and Alyson Stone:
Following the death of our mother Alyson Stone in May 2020 and her cremation in Yeovil, it was the intention of the family to wait until the Covid 19 restrictions had passed and then lay her ashes to rest followed by a Memorial service in the Church at Drimpton.
Due to the length of the pandemic and continuing restrictions, we have now laid her ashes to rest with our father John in the graveyard at St Mary’s Church.
It is still our intention to hold a Memorial service, at Drimpton church, as and when the government and Church authority advise that a service can take place without restrictions and when we consider it safe to do so.
Please bear with us and we will let her friends and relatives know when this service can finally take place.
Richard and Michael Stone.
ROYAL OAK update
Pubs in England are open for outdoor serving only. But we are still doing our takeaway menu and our Sunday roast. I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
Keep safe and well. Cheers.
