Denis has sadly recently died at the grand age of 95. He was born in Saltfleetby and then moved to Stixwold where he based his farming enterprise for many years. 

 Denis represented Woodhall Spa and district for 40 years on Lincolnshire County Council as a conservative. 

He served on many committees and as farmer, he took great interest in county farms, flooding and rural issues in general. 

 He was twice chairman of the council and was interim Leader in 2002. He also served on the executive for four years. 

 He was very strident in his views but a champion of the county and very loyal to the conservative group as well. RIP
