Frightened parishioners in the village of North Bradley have complained to the Diocese of Salisbury and Wiltshire Council about the pair of aggressive dogs kept by Father Oliver Learmont. Father Oliver Learmont, Vicar of North Bradley, Southwick, Heywood and Steeple Ashton, hit the headlines in June last year after parishioners in Steeple Ashton subjected him to a vote of 'no confidence'. Wiltshire Council says it is investigating an incident last Tuesday when ‘Horrible Hector’ allegedly attacked another dog being walked by an elderly woman. “There has been a further complaint received about a dog being attacked in North Bradley in the week commencing 22 January 2024. But Father Learmont refused to leave, saying he was being guided by the Holy Spirit and would not respond to ultimatums.
