His brother Mike and Paul’s widow Pam write:
““After his spell at COHS, Paul went on to Keble College, Oxford. Having obtained a degree in Physics in 1954, he took up a teaching post as Physics Lecturer at Bootham School in York. After some seven years he joined the staff of Clifton College of Education (a teacher training college) where he again lectured in Physics.
Having taken early retirement, he found his musical instrument-making hobby turn into a second career as a violin and viola maker. By his untimely death he had been commissioned to make over one hundred and twenty instruments. Many are being played in some of the UK’s most famous orchestras.”
