Bench in memory of John and Molly Slow

The bench is situated on the grass area off Crown Mead next to the bridge over the River Allen.

John was a popular and long-standing member of Wimborne Rotary, serving as president twice in 1997 and 2013, and was awarded an MBE for services to the local community. Molly was a member of Rotary Wives, and they were both popular and well known in the town.

At a recent informal dedication of the bench, John and Molly’s daughters, Linda Griffiths and Julie Henson, were present along with Rotarians and a few memories of John were shared with everyone by his grandson.

Linda said: “What a wonderful way to remember and celebrate mum and dad’s lives and their service to the community.”
