It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Martin Fisher (HonOG), former Senior Deputy Head and Head of Classics at Downside, died on Wednesday 5th June. He had moved to London from Somerset in 2022 to be closer to his daughter Rosemary, son-in-law Adam and grandsons George and Charles.
Rosemary writes:
‘Fortified by the last sacraments of the Church, my father died peacefully after a short illness on Wednesday 5th June. I was with him when he died and he received outstanding care at King’s College Hospital during the final three months of his life.
My family and I would like to thank the many OGs and former Downside colleagues who kept in touch with us while he was in the hospital and who have shared their memories since he died. Downside was an incredibly special place for him and this will be reflected in a number of ways at his Funeral Mass. Please join us for the Mass at Prior Park College, my father’s final place of teaching, on Thursday 27th June at 1.45 pm.’
May he rest in peace.
