Harry Lawrence, 1916-2005
A good number of people were present at the thanksgiving service for Harry’s life at West Wickham Baptist Church on October 25.
He was born in Camberwell, South London, and brought up in Norbury. His maternal grandfather went to live with the Lawrence family when Harry was a boy, and Harry shared a bedroom with him. Seeing his grandfather kneeling by his bedside to pray made a lasting impression on Harry, who often said he would never know how much he owed to those prayers.
