All members of the public welcome.
Diana has been a resident of Ridlington all her life. Her father Stan was born in Preston, and her mother, Mary was born in Clay Cross, near Chesterfield. They made their home in Ridlington over 75 years ago. She adored Ridlington and loved the wide-open spaces that we walked often with our dogs over the years.
Diana lived life with colour, warmth, and a smile that could light up any room. She loved deeply, laughed easily, and gave generously — always finding joy in making others happy.
She shared nearly 54 years with her beloved husband Martin, including 44 years of marriage, and was a devoted and fiercely protective mother to her son, Daniel, and a loving mother-in-law to Claire. Family was at the heart of everything she did.
Diana had a gift for creating beauty — in her home, her garden, and in the lives of those around her. Our home was her castle: bright, welcoming, and uniquely hers, filled with colour, creativity, and happy memories. She loved nature, windy days, long walks, and sunshine-filled holidays — especially by the ocean in Tenerife and around the Amalfi Coast, in Italy.
She brought friendship wherever she went, through her kindness, her warmth, and her infectious love of life. Above all, Diana reminded us that happiness is something you build — with love, generosity, and a joyful heart.
Sadly missed but never forgotten.
“Diana, my love — I was blessed the day I met you, and I discovered just how special you were by spending a lifetime with you. You are, and always will be, the most important person in my life.”
A new year begins, and with it another chapter in the life of our village. The turning of the seasons reminds us how much we value the everyday connections that make this community what it is – familiar faces, shared events, and the quiet support we offer one another.
This magazine is one small way of keeping those connections alive: a place to share news, mark milestones, and reflect village life as it is lived. Whether you are closely involved in parish activities or simply enjoy knowing what is going on locally, we hope you will find something here that feels relevant and welcoming.
As the year unfolds, may it bring opportunities to gather, to look out for one another, and to strengthen the sense of belonging that makes Ridlington such a special place to call home.
