Mick Crosfield obituary

My brother-in-law, Mick Crosfield, who has died aged 94, was a film-maker (in three continents), a shopkeeper (in London) and, throughout his widely varied life, a man of great practical engineering capability, of independent and courageous thought, and of many enthusiasms.

Born in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Mick was one of six children of Eleanor Cadbury and Bertram Crosfield, both from leading Quaker families. Bertram was the managing director and co-proprietor of the Daily News.
