Saw him yesterday in Baildon, didn't look very well, not striding along as he normally does and looked quite frail.

The death of the walking monk was intimated in today's Telegraph and Argus. It stated that he died in hospital after a fall at his home.

Hi everyone,
There was an item on the local news this week saying this gentleman had died,
A church in Bradford had opened a book of condolence in his honour.
Nice new looking website BTW
