Abstract
Peter Baker was brought up in Lincoln where his father Frederick Thomas, always known as Tom, was curator of the Lincoln museum. Tom started work at the age of 16 and eventually became Director of the city museum, library and art gallery. His interests in local history and archaeology were recognized by election to the Fellowship of the Society of Antiquaries, by the award of an Honorary Degree at Hull University, and by the appointment as an Officer of the Civil Division of the Order of the British Empire. Tom married Doris Enid Skelton, a Lincolnshire girl, in 1937 and Peter, their only child, was born in 1939. Peter went to Lincoln School where he received a good all-round education, as well as a thorough grounding in science. In 1956 he won a major scholarship to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
