G.P. (Peter) Hutchinson, CBE (SH 40-42)

Peter Hutchinson, CBE died on 17^th January 2019 at the age of 92. He came to St Bees School in 1940 and boarded on School House in the days of John Boulter’s Headmastership. He thoroughly enjoyed his time at school and eventually captained the 1^st XI as well as setting a longstanding record for the 440 yards’ sprint. After St Bees he gained a place at Durham University to read Agriculture and subsequently had a long career as a Land Agent. Peter lived a very full life: for ten years he was the leader of the Conservative Group on the Northumberland County Council, and also was created an Honorary Alderman, as well as holding a variety of public and private appointments. All this culminated in 1984 when he was honoured with a CBE for his services to the North East of England. He is survived by Audrey, whom he married in 1958, and two children, Robbie and Katie.
