William A Appleton
Townsend House (previously Prospect House? )
Secretary of the General Federation of Trade Unions
By Peter Greener
W A Appleton seems to have many connections with Ashwell and the museum.
He was a CBE and JP.
He was a trustee of the museum from its foundation in 1930 until 1941.
We have a book written by him in 1921 when he was Secretary of the General Federation of Trade unions. 'What we want and where we are'
He lived at Prospect House ,Townsend, which is believed to be Townsend House
Any further information would be gratefully appreciated.
