Preview:This year we are celebrating two significant anniversaries relating to the life and career of the palaeontologist, Sir Arthur Smith Woodward - his birth in Macclesfield, Cheshire on 23 May 1864 and also his death at his Sussex home, Hill Place, Balcombe Road, Haywards Heath on 2 September 1944. He retired from the prominent position as Keeper of Geology at the British Museum (Natural History) in 1924, aged 60, after 42 years' service to the Museum, and spent an active retirement writing, lecturing and travelling. He was sorely afflicted by blindness in the last few years of his life, which curtailed his activities severely. Only a couple of months before he died, Sir Arthur and Lady Woodward had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
