of his life in Hurst Green. He arrived as a small boy and was one of the first pupils at Hodder and later St Mary’s Hall before attend­ ing Stonyhurst College. The family had been connected

with school for more than 150 years and his parents, Mel and Olive, ran the Shireburn Arms and Bayley Arms in the village. The world famous Observatory


at Stonyhurst had been endowed by the family for the work of the Jesuit Fr Stephen Perry SJ, Mr Perry’s great great uncle, who was a renowned astronomer and whose telescope is still used today. When Mr Perry left Stonyhurst,


he turned to journalism and trained on the Advertiser and Times before undertaking three years national service between 1954 to 1957 in Malaya, serving in the Intelligence Corps, during the Emergency there leading up to independence. On returning from Malaya he


went to work as a journalist in London where, aged 26, he became the youngest editor in Fleet Street, with Catering Management and Hotel Management. He became a


regular contributor to titles such as The Financial Times, The Times and Investors Chronicle among others. Mr Perry went on to edit the


weekly newspaper Catering Times and was regularly meeting and interviewing leading figures in the hospitality industry, such as Sir Charles Forte, Playboy Club founder Hugh Hefner and food critic Egon Ronay. While in London he met his wife


Patricia when they worked togeth­ er on the staff magazine for W H Smith. They married in 1962. In 1969, he moved back to Hurst


Green, taking over the Bayley Arms from his parents. He used his skills for publicity gained from his time as a journalist to a ttra c t tourists from around the world. He looked to give the Ribble


Valley a focus for the internation­ al tourist market. His efforts were marked by being awarded the “Come to Britain” accolade from the British Tourist Authority. . The then Advertiser and Times


editor Raymond Mann regularly documented Mr Perry’s efforts to put the Ribble Valley on the national and international map. He became one of the founders of the North West Tourist Board. In 1977 he decided to leave the


Bayley Arms and return to his first love of journalism, where he worked as an editor in the textile and grocery press until he had to retire due to a serious disabling ill­ ness in 1982. This led him to focus his skills on


helping disabled people, particu­ larly in the area of disability rights, representing many at tri­ bunals throughout the UK. Despite his health problems, he


maintained his love for travel and revisited Malaysia on a couple of occasions as well as regularly visit­ ing friends in Spain and Portugal. He always remained fascinated


by Stonyhurst and its place in and impact on, not only on the locality but the worldwide “family” it cre­ ates. Mr Perry was in regular con­ tact with many old boys from all areas and parts of the world. Mr Perry was admitted to the


Royal Blackburn Hospital in July, where he celebrated his 70th birth­ day on October 11th. He died in the early hours of Monday. He is survived by his wife, Patri­


cia, their son, Mark, and grand­ sons Michael and Matthew, (s)

the Ribblesdale works, said: “This is the first time we have produced this


brochure. An educational section was added to our website two years ago, but we hope the brochure will help children understand the vital part cement plays in our world.”
