For other characters named Hector, see Hector (disambiguation).
Hector was Granny Potterington's husband who also lived at the Manor Farm. He was the father of their children, Henry and Harry.
He died a few months ago. However Granny gives a different reason each day:
- "It was a terrible accident. Somehow, our entire supply of pitchforks just fell into him...some, apparently, out and then into him again a few times."
- "Angry sheep. Don't let the wooliness lull you into a false sense of security, sheep are malicious killers at heart."
- "Crushed to death by cheese wheels. He was trying to stack them too high and down they all came. His funeral stank; in hindsight, we shouldn't have cremated him."
- "He decided he could make more money as an adventurer. Chickens can apparently be dangerous opponents when angry."
- "At 27? No, sadly he misread a cooking recipe and managed to set himself on fire. Sad, really. The meal was ruined."
- "A chimney fell on him. It's weird, it wasn't even ours. It just came out of nowhere. I blame those floating island types."
- "He was electrocuted to death by a wandering pig. Very strange, but his heart couldn't take it and he gave out."
