DEWEY, Percival Saxby (1898-1983) of Wickhamford – Analytical Chemist and Author
When the 1939 Register of the population was made, at the outbreak of World War Two, the vast majority of the adult population of Wickhamford were engaged in horticulture or agriculture. One of the exceptions was Percival Saxby Dewey, who was living at 1 Manor Cottages, Wickhamford Lane, with his wife and small daughter, Jane. He had married Elena Mary Relf in 1936 and their daughter, Jane, was born in November of that year.
