Just read Paul's post about Nigel.My condolences go out to Nigel's  family.

Spent a lot of time at Nigels' over the years but lost contact when my wife died. Strangely Nigel got back in touch when I posted a memory about her on Facebook last year.

He was a  great woodsman and a nice guy. He will be very much missed.

 So very sad to hear that Nigel Fleckney has passed away I always remember purchasing wood from him at the Daventry Show also when he used to come to the AWGB AGM each year.
 Condolences to his Family R.I.P. Nigel.

Very sad news about Nigel. Like John I used to see him at the AWGB AGMs. He always had nice wood to sell at sensible prices. He was a nice chap.
Condolences to his family.

A really knowledgeable guy and a pleasure to deal with.  Wood I have bought from him was traceable back to the actual tree and when it was planted.  He will be missed.

Just seen a post on FB saying that Nigel's kids, Nathan and Abigail will be running the sawmill and are open for business.
I've met Nathan but not Abigail.
Good to see Nigel's legacy will carry on
