Lester Halling. Reader Minister
With my father in the RAF I spent my early years wandering and eventually ended up living in Croft. Here I started doing youth work and then transferred to become a Reader and also organising (if possible) the bellringers as Tower Captain. When not involved with church work I indulge in the three R’s – Reading, Rambling and Railways.
