The Walker Family star on University Challenge

Many residents will remember Jack and Freda Walker who lived in Church Street, near the post office, and their daughter Vivien. Vivien’s son Joel Weller, who has a B. Sc. in Theoretical Physics, and is reading for a Ph. D. in Cosmology at the University of Sheffield, was the star of the Sheffield team on this week’s University Challenge TV programme. Cawthorners may wish to watch Sheffield in the next round to see how one of their own performs in such a high pressure environment!
