We would appreciate donations instead of flowers. John was a lifetime member and fundraiser for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, and enjoyed many long walks and days out in their nature reserves. There will be a collection box in his memory at his funeral.

Sad news

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden, unexpected and untimely death of John Knifton on Sunday 3rd March in Nottingham. Although he had been unwell for some while, John’s health had been improving and as always he remained positive and optimistic and had many exciting plans in mind for the future. His insights and scholarly approach to so many different topics will be sorely missed by all those who have enjoyed his erudition over the years. 

John leaves behind his wife, Gaynor, and daughter, Lauren, as well as over a year’s worth of scheduled blog posts and one unpublished book. We are devastated by his sudden death and, after his funeral and when we feel capable, we will continue to publish his blog posts as well as his last book.

May he rest in peace.
