Frances Petchey
1944 - 2025

Sadly we announce the passing of Ms Frances Petchey. Those who’ve been coming to Sleningford Watermill Campsite for many years remember Frances very fondly and still speak of her today.

Frances a valued member of the local community, opened and established the campsite in 1973. During her 35-year reign she looked after the needs of many campers, organised many canoeing events, and raised her own family here at Sleningford. Her hard work and dedication contributed to what makes Sleningford the special place everyone still experiences today. Frances retired here in 2006, she is sadly missed but her legacy still lives on today in the place she called home.

The funeral service will take place at St Nicholas Church, West Tanfield on Friday 18th July at 3pm. Anyone attending wear something colourful if you can for Fran.
