City of Bath Heraldic Society In memoriam


   
 
  We mourn the loss of John Uncles, past Chairman, Secretary and editor of the Tabard, who died on 8th July 2025 aged 85 years. A tribute by Michael Furlong in the September 2025 issue of the Heraldry Gazette, is reproduced here.
     
  It is with deep sorrow that we have learnt of the death of Cathy Constant, at home in Keynsham, on Friday 2 December 2020. Cathy contributed to the Hatchments of Britain Series (Volume 7 for Somerset and for Gloucestershire; we illustrate one of her photographs for that survey), and was a much loved and respected member of The City of Bath Heraldic Society, which conferred on her Honorary Life Membership, having served as Secretary and as Chairman, beside being the person responsible for the the society's teas and refreshments. Her wide interest in heraldry and friendly engagement with all she met will be greatly missed.
     
  We are very sad to report that Tony Ryan died before giving his lecture on 16th April 2016.
His loss is deeply felt by the Society. Stephen Slater's obituary, published in the Heraldry Gazette in June 2016, can be read here.
     
The City of Bath Heraldic Society with much regret and sadness has to report that Cynthia Lydiard Cannings (Hon. Treasurer) died on 5th May 2016 at the Royal United Hospital, Bath. For a tribute follow this link.
