Death of former OF Governor and Rector of Framlingham

We are sad to advise that the Rev Canon David John Pitcher (R44-51) died in hospital on 26 March 2026, surrounded by his family aged 92.  He was the father of Simon (Z76-82) and Michael (Z79-87) and grandfather of William (R10-11)

He was Rector of St Michael’s Church Framlingham from 1976 – 1991 and wrote a book called “All Change for Framlingham” based on the train line that used to run to Framlingham. While Rector of Framlingham he was a school governor and during his retirement he had a spell as volunteer chaplain to the College.

Simon has advised us that his funeral will be in St Michael’s Church, Framlingham at 1. 30pm on Friday 24th April 2026.
