I am setting up this fund for our dear friend Oliver Bowden, who so tragically lost his life doing the job he loved at Mill End Farm. My aim for the fund is two fold.

Firstly, to raise money to plant a magnificant Cedar of Lebanon at Couchfield Barn, between Mill End Farm and Hambleden, so that locals can go and remember Oliver there, as it was a special place for him.

Secondly, funds left over will be to provide an account for his two boys Georgie and Archie. The idea behind this is to enable Anita to have a fund to draw on when the boys need specific farming related things, such as taking an HGV test, sprayer tests etc, which their dad would have been so proud to see them completing.

I do hope all those who loved him will be able to honour his memory in this way..
