The donor's father was William Ewyas Walley, born 21 July 1910 in Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire. He married Linda Margaret Benyon in Chester Cathedral on 5 September 1938 and died at Eastbourne on 13 May 1995. He was appointed, from a field of 35 applicants, as secretary and manager of the Heathfield and District Water Company in September 1949, having previously been employed at Nuneaton. The family lived at the manager's house, 'Kildare' in Burwash, under a service tenancy. As a result of the Eastbourne Water Order 1959, the company was wound up on 1 November 1959 and amalgamated with the Eastbourne Waterworks Company, for which Walley acted as Deputy and finally as Chief Engineer; he left Kildare in 1960 and moved to 59 Selwyn Road, Eastbourne, which he subsequenrtly purchased from the Company. For the records of the Company, see SEW 1/3.
