    No. Try identifying more of the people.

      Well, I had Barry Rose in mind. But going back to Worcester, it does sound like Atkins and I therefore think of treble. And that really is my final thought.

        1936 -1968 Sir John Dykes Bower?
        1968 -1990 Christopher Dearnley?

          Sir John Dykes Bower is the longest serving knight in the twentieth century (see previous hints).

Having now found a plumber and just been informed that the card has been handed in at the local police station (cards present, though we'd cancelled them, but no cash of course)...
                      I am really sorry to hear about Mrs Norfy's misfortune. It's a horrible experience, and such hassle. I hope the plumber is not too costly either! Poor you.
