Gates that didn’t reach category finals of #GateGrandPrix26 but we appreciated: number one. @edmondslyn was a cracker for this literature lover and we loved it even more as it was a gate to a private house! We’d like to know why they chose this book as inspiration! #lovegates

It's also really important to be able to share Ernest's life with visitors to Didcot, to make sure he and others are known and remembered. We'd love to do more in the town itself, too, given his civic roles and his lasting impact. That's an avenue for us to explore soon!

Thank you, Lyn, and for your help in trying to find out more about Ernest. It means a lot. Working with the families - direct or distant - of those we're researching is really important to us. Pooling our knowledge benefits us all👍
