David Smith obituary – Guardian November 24, 2022 by Fulcrum Religion played a massive part in David’s life. He joined the congregation of St Peter’s church in Burnley in the 1950s and became secretary of the parochial church council in 1972. During restoration work in the 1990s, the church suffered a great fire in the tower and roof, and David arranged funding and organised work to repair the damage. After retiring as secretary in 2019, he took on the financial management of the church, and organised Saturday morning recitals of classical music by musicians from all over the world. Rebecca Hay.
