• Notes

  Major Walter Dutton Garnett- Botfield died on December 6, 1933 and was buried in the Albrighton parish churchyard. His obituary in the Advertiser fills in the gaps of his life of guns and roses: The remains of Major W. D. Garnett-Botfield of Beamish, Albrighton, Wolverhampton, were interred in Albrighton parish churchyard on Saturday. The deceased, who was in his 80th year, was a son of the late Mr. Garnett-Botfield of Decker Hill, Shifnal. During the Great War he commanded the Northumbrian District, and was stationed at No. 1 Field Artillery Training School at South Camp, Ripon. He was a Justice of the Peace for Shropshire, sitting on the Shifnal Bench. He married a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs McConnel, and sister of Mrs Banister (Caynton Hall, Peckbury), by whom he is survived, together with one daughter. The late Major Garnett-Botfield was an excellent shot, and was also very much interested in horticulture. The funeral service was conducted by the vicar (the Rev. G. K. M. Green). The coffin, which was covered by the Union Jack, was brought to the church by motor, being preceded by a uniformed escort of members of the Shropshire Constabulary, under Deputy Chief Constable J.
