William Fleming Bewley (1891 – 1976) On graduating from Armstrong College, University of Durham, Bewley was appointed in 1914, assistant bacteriologist at Rothamsted Experimental Station. Seconded for service in the Royal Field Artillary during the 1914-18 war he returned to Rothamsted in 1919 a few months before being appointed mycologist at the Experimental & Research Station Cheshunt (situated in the Lea Valley, Herts) of which he became director in 1921 and remained so until the Station closed 34 years later. In 1953 the Cheshunt Research Station became the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute and in 1955 its staff moved to a new site near Littlehampton, Sussex, where the Cheshunt work was amalgamated with that of the Mushroom Research Association's from Yaxley under Bewley's directorship until his retirement in 1956. Bewley's early and varied work at Cheshunt (that, begun at Rothamsted, on the control of soil-borne diseases by steam sterilization being notable) resulted in Diseases of Glasshouse Crops, 1923, which became a standard text. Later Bewley wrote The Cultivation of Mushrooms, 1938 (edn 3, 1963) (with J. Harnett), Commercial Glasshouse Crops, 1950 (a comprehensive text written before the outbreak of the Second World War), and finally, as a result of his BBC gardening programmes with Roy Hay (1910-89), Science Has Green Fingers, 1959. Bewley was popular with growers, much in demand as an adviser lecturer on many aspects of horticulture. He was appointed CBE (1934) and in 1938 awarded the Victoria Medal of Honour in Horticulture by the Royal Horticultural Society. See also W. Buddin, L. E. Morris, S. G. Paine. Ann. Rep. Glasshouse Crops Res. Inst. 1976: 12-13, port., 1977. [3]
