He was also a founder member of the Whitstable Historical Society from 1947 and its Life President. His knowledge of Whitstable and its past was unrivalled. He published several monograph's relating to the history of the town, and notably, in 1993, as the fruit of a lifetime's research, The Merchant Ships of Whitstable. For this splendidly illustrated and definitive work the University of Kent, in 1995, conferred upon him the degree of an Honary M.A. A fuller obituary will appear next year in the Archaeologia Cantiana.
