It is with great sadness I have to announce the sudden passing of my brother Martyn.
For those that wish to attend his funeral it will be held at:
Hanworth Crematorium (TW13 5JH) Monday 30th June 2025 @ 12.20 with a small wake at a local pub afterwards to celebrate Martyn’s life.
For those that can’t make it we will be having a small wake at Poppyland Brewery, Cromer on Sunday 06 July between 13.30 – 16.30.
The family request no flowers

My commiserations – I had met Martyn many times over the years, A lovely man, and the leading British beer writer without doubt. As a British beer historian he was in a class of his own.
It is a grim irony that he died just before his magnum opus was published, so he never got to see the culmination of many years’ work.
I can’t make the funeral, but I shall be thinking about Martyn.
My best wishes to you and the whole of his family. Very sad.
