The Gipsy Christening - The vicar walked towards the gipsy camp in the wood. When he got level with the leading caravan, he called out: "I'm the local parson. I just happened to be passing, and I wondered whether there was anything I could do to help." A few days later a message was delivered to the rambling stone vicarage at Eridge Green, Sussex. It said: "Some of the gipsies in the wood would like to be baptized." So the vicar, the Rev. John Stuart Yorke, brought out his old car. Into the back he put a folding table, an altar cloth, a small cross, and a portable font. When he arrived at the forest he set up a small alter against a background of caravans. Then he baptised three Smiths, three Bakers, two Jameses and four Joneses - eleven children and one grown-up. The youngest was Jimmy Smith, seen here in the vicar's arms. Jimmy was born six weeks ago. April 29, 1955.
