Jim Thom – friend to everyone and enthusiastic Trust volunteer

Jim hard at work marking finds at Ambleside Roman Fort with Kenny detecting for lead sling bullets in 2023



It is with the greatest sadness that we learned of the passing yesterday of our dear friend and colleague, Jim Thom.

Everyone who knew him, will sorely miss his kindness, his lively personality and his great good humour.

All at Trimontium send their deepest sympathy to his dear wife Pat and all their family.

John Reid, Chairman Trimontium Trust.
