David Blatchford Vinyl 44

David of Castor left this world in 2003 and left behind a wonderful collection of Vinyl LPs and singles, many of them rare and valuable and all in superb condition.

The sale of these precious records has generated proceeds of £2,707, which are now contributed to the St Kyneburgha Building Preservation Trust in memory of David.
