OBITUARIES

JEFFREY JAMES NORTH (1920–2016)

Arma virumque cano Virgil, Aeneid, 1.1

Jeffrey James North, an eminent contemporary and close friend of Peter Woodhead (q.v.) passed away peacefully in Worthing on 31 March 2016 at the age of 96. Jeffrey was born in Brighton, Sussex, on 27 January 1920 and won a scholarship to Varndean Boys’ Grammar School, passing his Matriculation in 1937. His father was a bookbinder but on leaving school he chose to join Barclays Bank in Brighton. After the outbreak of the Second World War he was conscripted into the army in June 1940, and commissioned in 1942, at the age of twenty-two. Later that year he joined the Tunisian campaign, where he was mentioned in dispatches, on one occasion leading his men back to safety from behind enemy lines. Whilst serving in Algeria he met his first wife, Janine, whom he married in 1944. Their son Andrew, an accomplished linguist, survives Jeffrey. Following a bout of illness Jeffrey was withdrawn from active service and served in a liaison role with the Allied Forces H.Q., Italy, for the remainder of the War. Following discharge in June 1946, he resumed his career with Barclays. With typical modesty he always protested that he was ‘no banker’, but nevertheless rose to become the manager at Hove and subsequently at the important branch in Portslade. His practical and sharp intelligence, and his firmness of resolve allied to a fair and compassionate nature, ensured that he was universally respected and admired by his staff, his customers and his wider social acquaintance. Jeffrey retired from the bank in 1979 at the age of fifty-nine. This enabled him to devote more time and energy to his favourite pursuit, the collection and study of coins. Like so many of his generation he acquired an interest in numismatics in his boyhood. Living in Brighton he was able to develop his eye for a bargain in the ‘Lanes’ where, in those halcyon days, an Anglo-Saxon penny could often be bought for as little as a few old pence. By 1957 he had already become a serious student of English hammered coinage up to 1660 and joined the British Numismatic Society in September of that year. At this period he received formative encouragement from such distinguished numismatists as Michael Dolley and Christopher Blunt. Jeffrey’s contribution in his chosen field is nowhere more eloquently demonstrated than in the bibliography of his published writings below, compiled by Robert Thompson. For short notes his preferred vehicle was the Spink Numismatic Circular, to which he contributed seven- ty-six entries between 1959 and 1996. He also collaborated in 1984 with Peter Preston Morley for volume 33 in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) series, entitled The John G. Brooker collection: Coins of Charles I (1625−1649) and with Ian (now Lord) Stewartby − another mentor − on ‘The classification of the single-cross sterlings of Alexander III’, published in BNJ in 1990. His main claim to lasting recognition, however, rests upon two outstanding monographs. The first of these was his two volumes onEnglish Hammered Coinage, the first covering the period from c.600 to 1272 and the second from 1272 to 1662. Jeffrey took these through three editions between 1960 and 1994, recognised by his being awarded the Lhotka Memorial Prize of the Royal Numismatic Society. Their clarity and precision brought him world-wide acclaim, and it is to be hoped that further editions of this essential work will be entertained by the publishers to ensure their lasting utility and to form a fitting tribute to Jeffrey’s achievement. The second monograph was his Sylloge, SCBI 39, entitled the J.J. North collection: Edwardian

Obituary, ‘Jeffrey James North (1920–2016)’, British Numismatic Journal 86 (2016), 283–89. ISSN 0143–8956. © British Numismatic Society. 284 OBITUARY Silver Coins 1279−1351, published by the British Academy in 1989. This consummate analysis of a challenging series had been foreshadowed by his booklet in 1968, entitled The Coinages of Edward I and II. The author of this obituary was able to apply Jeffrey’s detailed classification without difficulty when cataloguing approximately 2,500 Edwardian sterlings struck at the mint of Bury St Edmunds. The Sylloge, written at the request of the Academy, was an eloquent testimonial to his academic standing. In spite of his prominence in the British series Jeffrey never took office in this Society, but in 1993 he was granted its most prestigious award, the Sanford Saltus Medal. In 2006 he donated a generous capital sum to enable the Society to set up in his honour the biennial North Book Prize and the Jeffrey North Medal for Services to Numismatics, intended to celebrate its unsung heroes. After publication of his Sylloge, Jeffrey disposed of his Edwardian sterlings by private treaty and, with typical adventurousness, formed a collection of Chinese cast copper coins. This was donated to the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge shortly before his death. Jeffrey’s home in Shoreham-by-Sea, which he shared with his second wife, Shirley, until her untimely death in 2000, appeared from the outside to be a typical detached house of the 1920s. But inside it was furnished and equipped with the choicest of objects, ranging from Georgian furniture and silver-gilt cutlery, to stump-work pictures, Chinese ceramics and figures and, latterly, Barr, Flight and Barr Worcester porcelain painted in exquisite shell and feather designs. Eventually Sotheby illustrated such an inkstand owned by Jeffrey on the front cover of one of its auction catalogues. Shirley shared his enthusiasms and assembled her own remarkable collection of silhouettes. On leaving the house by the back door the visitor was further spellbound by the sight of a tastefully laid out and maintained garden. Jeffrey North was a courteous and loyal friend, always enthusiastic and entertaining, and interested in everyone and everything around him. He bore the partial amputation of one leg soon after the loss of Shirley with great fortitude. His intellectual acumen remained undimin- ished until the very end of his long life. The present writer recalls visiting him when he was approaching his nineties to be told that he was amusing himself by re-reading the Aeneid in its original language. Andrew has related that if it became apparent that conversation with his father during their weekly luncheon engagement was being listened to by other diners, they would switch to French and even, for greater privacy, to Latin. It is impossible to feel sad given Jeffrey’s long and fulfilling life and the cherished memories of those who were fortunate enough to have known him. It is also a happy circumstance that Jeffrey had, to his delight, been told before his death that the Society had decided to dedicate this volume of BNJ to him. ROBIN EAGLEN

ROBERT THOMPSON PETER WOODHEAD (1929–2015)

Peter Woodhead was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, on 29 January 1929. He thus entered the world at the beginning of the Great Depression and his early teenage years witnessed the Second World War. Against this backcloth his father, an expert in wireless communication, was obliged as the breadwinner to subject his family to an almost nomadic existence, to follow his career in difficult times. This caused frequent upheavals in Peter’s education, and it is a remarkable tribute to his inherent resourcefulness and his intellectual curiosity and capacity that he was later able to distinguish himself in both the world of electronics and of numismatics. In 1945, at the age of 16, Peter joined the research department of A.C. Cossor, an innova- tive electronics company which had made a vital contribution to the development of radar in the War. A year later he moved with his parents to South Africa, and on his return became the Resident Engineer on Cossor’s experimental yacht, in which he travelled widely. His career was again interrupted in 1953, when, already aged 26, he was called up for National Service. His bold aspiration to become a pilot, however, was thwarted when it was found that he was clinically colour-blind. After demobilisation he returned to Cossor until 1962, when he joined Elliot Automation. By this time his electrical engineering, marketing and management experience resulted in his being employed by his company upon trouble-shooting missions in a number of European countries. In 1976 he made his last business move, as Managing Director of the electrical manufacturers, Scotts. This entitled him to a flat in London and reserved seats at Covent Garden, where he was able to share his love of opera with his friends. After Scotts were taken over by AMEC Peter decided to retire from business in his mid 50s and devote his energies to numismatics. He thereupon moved to his parents’ home in Goring- by-Sea, by chance close to Shoreham, where a numismatic fellow spirit and good friend, Jeffrey North, resided. Peter had developed a passion for numismatics at an early age, ideally suited to his probing, inquisitive mind. In 1952 he joined the British Numismatic Society (‘the Society’) and became a member of the informal Saturday Club at Baldwins, the London coin dealers, where leading numismatists of the day, including John Brand, Francis Elmore Jones, Ian Stewart (now Lord Stewartby) and Philip Whitting, would meet. Their relaxed exchanges stimulated the development of British numismatics to the heights it still maintains. At this time Peter also received invaluable encouragement and guidance from Christopher Blunt, the doyen of the Society. Peter’s wide-ranging interest in and knowledge of coins concentrated initially on early medieval English silver, resulting in papers, written alone or jointly, of lasting importance. In particular, his contribution in recording and analysing important British coin hoards remains an essential tool in advancing our understanding of those coinages, as does his work on the early coinage of Edward III. The writer had the personal enjoyment of working with Peter when the relatives of his old acquaintance, the late George Tatler, asked the two of us to edit for publication his research into the coins struck by the thirteenth century moneyer, Robert de Hadeleie. Due recognition of Peter’s abilities and accomplishments came with his appointment as President of the Society from 1976 to 1980. Owing to his business acumen he was able, during his Presidency, to rescue the Society from serious financial difficulties into which it had fallen. In due course Peter expanded the scope of his interests to include continental silver coinage. He also became a valued member of the Société Française de Numismatique and even arranged a joint meeting between the two societies. In recognition of Peter’s published contributions to numismatics, which are listed below, he was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1977 and in 1999 he was made an Honorary Member of this Society. His most outstanding achievement, however, was his publication of the Herbert Schneider collection of gold coins. It had been formed over a fifty year period and Obituary, ‘Peter Woodhead (1929–2015)’, British Numismatic Journal 86 (2016), 287–9. ISSN 0143–8956. © British Numismatic Society. 288 OBITUARY 288 is still being added to by his son, Edward. It ranks as the finest such collection in existence outside the British Museum. The first two volumes, on English gold from the thirteenth to twentieth century , was published in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles series in 1996 and 2002 respectively. This resulted in Peter being awarded the prestigious Sanford Saltus Gold Medal in 2006. The then President of the Society, Mark Blackburn, described the volumes as ‘a major work of scholarship that the [Sylloge] Committee regard as flagship volumes of which we are very proud’. Peter was by then engaged upon a concluding volume on Anglo Gallic, Flemish and Brabantine gold. This was eventually published in 2011, when he had reached the ripe age of 82. Peter’s wide-ranging knowledge resulted in his acting, until recently, as a consultant and cataloguer for several auction houses, including Spink. He was also a wise voice in the Council of the Society from 1981 until he retired by rotation as a Vice-President in 2007. Two years later BNJ volume 79 was dedicated to him in celebration of his eightieth birthday. In 1990 Peter had moved from Goring to Daglingworth, near Cirencester, where he con- tentedly spent his last years at Tarry Cottage. He was encouraged to settle in the picturesque village to be near the Cooch family who, himself being unmarried, were to him a surrogate family. He was a devoted godfather to Robin and Emma Cooch and Peter often mentioned them in conversation. His fondness for young people in general was the embodiment of his gentle, fun-loving, warm and loyal nature. He also had a soft spot for cats, as his arrival in any new home was quickly discovered by his feline neighbours. Peter died suddenly at Tarry Cottage on 29 October 2015 and his ashes lie in the cemetery of the nearby church. Peter was universally liked and admired, and as Muriel, his twin cousin, says in a written tribute, ‘we all have special memories of his frequent unobtrusive acts of kindness and concern, his steadfast humanity and unfailing courtesy.’ He was a major figure in a golden age of numismatics, an exemplary human being, and a supreme example of the dying breed of gentlemen. He will be sorely missed. ROBIN EAGLEN
