We are sorry to inform readers that Ted Barham, the subject of Alex Perry’s monthly Ted Talks column, has sadly passed away aged 92.

Ted was a popular figure in town, often seen riding his little green bike and offering dog treats to dog walkers. His wife of 57 years - known to Ted, and readers of the column, as Baryl - died last year.

Alex Perry, who wrote up monthly conversations about Ted’s long and varied life, told us:

“Being in Wymondham Magazine meant a great deal to Ted in his final years. People in the street would recognise him and, importantly, listen to his stories. Sometimes, they even invited him around for tea! I consider myself fortunate to have recorded his memories while he was still with us.”

Ted’s funeral will be Friday 14th March 1pm at Wymondham Abbey for people in town to give Ted the send off he deserves.

We thank Alex for taking the time to beautifully document and share Ted’s memories.
Ted and Alex’s final recorded conversation appears here:
