Les Pitt, former joint proprietor of "News and Things"

I have fond memories of Les. When I first arrived in Charlbury in the early 80s, he and Mike invited me to join them and Alan Spicer on their Sunday morning runs. Some were pretty long but always at a pace that allowed conversation. That lovely group really welcomed me to Charlbury and its environs. Cheers Les for all you gave us.

Sad to hear that news         Chris Wastie

Longer-standing residents of the town, who remember the days when “News and Things” was owned and run by Les Pitt and Mike Mahoney, will be sad to learn of Les’s death recently in Somerset at the age of 75.

Les and Brenda with their young family were active members of the community (Les was also a retained firefighter), before they decided to move to Somerset in the early 1980s to run a village shop and tea room in Stogumber.
