The Blog is sad to report the death of Lord Waddington, probably South Cheriton’s most illustrious resident, on February 24th.<\/p>\n
He was a politician and barrister who served his country and his party well. His roots were in Lancashire, and he served as a Conservative MP and held a number of key political appointments, including Chief Whip. Home Secretary and Leader of the House of Lords.<\/p>\n
He was well known and liked in South Cheriton, where he and Gilly chose to retire, and was a familiar figure as he walked his dog around the village.<\/p>\n
We send our condolences to Lady Waddington and the family<\/p>\n
