Historia
Typographer and inscriptional letter-cutter in wood, slate and stone, working in Cambridge from 1934, and founder of the Rampant Lions Press.
Made an Honorary Fellow in 1977. He produced many inscriptions and brasses for the College, beginning with the 1939 - 1945 War Memorial designed by Reynolds Stone. Described by Brooke Crutchley, University Printer, as having produced some of the ‘most handsome products of the printing press in this century’, his letter-cutting was perhaps of more variable quality, and not given to virtuoso displays.
