Obituary

We felt that some of you would want to know, and so we are writing to share that Richard Pierce, Duncan’s father,

who has had a long battle with Parkinson's with Dementia,  sadly died on Wednesday 3rd December, with family all around him.  

 

A good number of you will have your own memories of Richard around the farm and site here,

including walking with Marilyn, for their morning breath of air out together across the farm,

or indeed doing the Poppy collection around the offices until the last few years when he was unable to do so.  

 

We are so sad, and mourn the man he was, but nonetheless, recognise he is free finally from the extremely hard challenges of this disease. 

In time, we know we will look back upon our memories of him as the man we knew before the disease,

striding purposefully around Goblands, a good, kind, godly man. 

 

He will be much missed by many.

A BRIEF HISTORY

The Weald of Kent Ploughing Match Association (WKPMA) came in to being in 1947 following the amalgamation of the Marden Agricultural Society and the Sandhurst Ploughing Match Association.

The physical size of the match has grown and it has undoubtedly become more important to the local farming and agricultural community. Ploughing remains the main focus of the event. It is a skill which has also evolved, as ploughing by tractors with no cabs or sophisticated hydraulics has given way to a mixed entry of modern, vintage, steam and horse ploughs.
