Vicar pays tribute to Henfield councillor
The Henfield community gathered to honour the life and legacy of Malcolm Eastwood, a Parish Councillor, District Councillor, and dedicated citizen of Henfield, with a special walk from Henfield Common to Sussex Prairie Gardens.
This event celebrated Malcolm’s many contributions to the local community as a Parish Councillor, District Councillor, and dedicated citizen.
His passing was deeply felt by the village, where he was known as a devoted husband, father, and friend to many.
"Malcolm was a dedicated servant to our community," said Canon Paul Doick , former Rector of St Peter's Church,Henfield.
"During the six years he was chairman of the Parish Council, we would often discuss local challenges whenever we met up. Malcolm's passing has left a void in Henfield, and the full church at his memorial service was a testament to the positive difference he made in so many lives. He will be deeply missed and long remembered for his service."
