BIOGRAPHY His mother was a true Romany , born in a Caravan (or 'vardo' in Romani ). He is most famous for his ''Out With Romany'' programmes on the BBC 's Children's Hour , describing travels in his own vardo, with Comma the Horse , his Spaniel Raq and his young friends Muriel and Doris. Only one such recording is known to survive. The vardo is now preserved in Wilmslow , Cheshire by Macclesfield Borough Council. As a Methodist minister, his ministries included Goole ; the Methodist Central Hall, Carlisle (1914-26); Huddersfield (1926-29); and the King Cross Methodist Chapel, Halifax (1929-39), after which ill health forced him to give up the ministry. He moved to Wilmslow, where he died, leaving his wife, Eunice, son Glyn and daughter, Romany June. The ''Romany Society'', originally formed in 1943 and re-founded in 1996, celebrates his life and work. Its Patron is Terry Waite .
