Hunter Bell

Hunter Bell was born in 1907 on the Beckindale parish boundary. He was illegitimate.

Sam Pearson met Hunter in The Woolpack and told him that Rev Edward Ruskin cannot find a record of his birth in the church records. Hunter is adamant that he was born in Beckindale. He was unsure of his true age and thought he was 70 but it turned out he was 67 and therefore too young to join the Over 70s Club. He asks Sam to see if Charlie Nelson would join the Over 70s.

In 1987 now aged about 80, Hunter Bell attended the villagers protest against the proposed nuclear waste dump. He attened the party at Emmerdale Farm later on after the protest victory.
