RIP Chris Boyton

(1/2) > >>

Del the cat:
Just heard Chris Boyton, the top English Bowyer has died in his sleep last night. I believe he'd been battling cancer for some time.
He did much of the work on the Mary Rose bows.
I saw him about this time last year at a Medieval Society roving marks shoot and had a bit of a chat.
A sad day for all, but he has passed it on for future generations.

Pappy:
Sorry to hear that Del.  :(

Marc St Louis:
I communicated with Chris several times.  A great bowyer. 

bobnewboy:
It seems that a bright light in the traditional crafts of bowyer and fletcher has been extinguished. He wasn’t just an outstanding bowyer, but a good tutor and a nice bloke all round.

RIP mate......

Cheers, Bob

PaulN/KS:
Sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
