A little late to the party (as often I am) but I only heard recently of your passing Chris and just wanted to say thanks for all the help and advice over the years. And for making awesome moulds (Bruce) and wonderfully white slip. Also for all the stories, your boundless energy and unique sense of humour - haha. Thanks for everything to Adrienne too - thinking of you and sending hugs - go well. X

Many powerful memories of Chris, both ferocious and generous.

The kiln you almost gave me in 1995 is still working, thanks for your support in a small ceramic outfit; it was always a strong feeling to be able to call you for advice or product.
You were are great Manager.

Dear Adrienne & Jourdan
The Caulton family are thinking of you all over this very sad time.
Our memories of Chris certainly started with meeting you all when our boys were rowing at King's and I was always immensely impressed as to how Chris just got on and did many tasks for the boys and coaches and parents that went unnoticed but made life so much easier for us all.
Rowing Camps were so much fun and there was never a dull moment with Chris around especially at the end of the day when the BBQ dinner was being prepared and the stories started flowing over a couple of quiet ones!
A true friend to everyone and we will all miss you Chris - RIP
Kindest regards
The Caulton Family

A true gentle man. He allowed you and your siblings to sign a special pin tray for me. I still also have the Royal Grafton cup and saucer you gave me when you left St Thomas“. Your Mum was a darling . We very nearly bought your house in Forsbrook but someone came along with the cash !! I will remember you all very fondly. May he rest in peace re- united with your Mum.
