Peter Rowell Beecroft  1919-2006
Master 1968 

Peter Rowell Beecroft joined our Club following the last war.  Numbers were very low in those days for obvious reasons and sons were encouraged to become members in order that the Club should survive.  Many of our Past Masters of this period can be seen to be sons or other relatives of former Masters. 

Mr Beecroft was a member of the H.A.C. before the 1939-45 war began and served as a Captain during these hostilities with the Royal Artillery.  For part of this time he was stationed in India.  

His old school is Launcing College

After being released from the army he studied and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor and followed up this success in joining his father, Past Master Henry Beecroft, (Obit) in the family firm, Beecroft Sons & Nicholson.

In our Club Peter Beecroft progressed through all the usual offices to become Master in 1968. The photograph of father and son was taken in the late 1950's.

In recognition of his membership and service to our Ward Club for over fifty years he was appointed an Honorary Member in May 2003 

He died in June 2006
