Philip Rothera, 71, was the landlord of the Cross Keys at Selattyn near Oswestry for over 25 years and was also a well known bellringer and golfer.
He lost a four-year battle with cancer on January 13, passing away at home surrounded by his family. He leaves a widow, Hilda, two sons, three daughters and seven grandchildren.
His son, Brian, said he had been a tower captain in his home in Essex and had rung bells in churches across the world.
