Peter R Beecroft |
| 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, 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 Peter Beecroft had been in poor health for some time and sadly died in 2006 - Please see the Obituary Section |
|
| At the time of writing (March 2003) Peter Beecroft is spending some time in a nursing home, having suffered a quite severe stroke. The whole membership of Cripplegate Ward Club send him and Mrs Beecroft good wishes during this difficult time. | |
