We are sad to report that Professor Jack Scarisbrick died on 28 February at the age of 97. He was a historian of great distinction and the founder of the ‘Life’ organisation. He was in addition a long standing supporter and contributor to the work of the Midland Catholic History Society. His funeral will take place on Friday 27 March at 12.00 noon at St Peter’s church Leamington Spa – further details are available on the ‘Life’ website.
