Peter Wynne Thomas - Queen's New Year Honours

Peter Wynne Thomas, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club’s stalwart librarian and historian, and Enid Bakewell, a legend of the women's game, have been honoured in the Queen’s New Year Honours List.

Wynne-Thomas, 84, is the recipient of a British Empire Medal for services to cricket and the community in Nottingham.

Wynne-Thomas is a former architect and has served at the Club since 1971, forming the library at Trent Bridge seven years later.

Boasting 15,000 books and in excess of 10,000 other items including letters, photographs, trophies and clothing, the library – under Wynne-Thomas’s stewardship – has grown to be the second largest collection of its kind in the world.

It has also been the base from which he has contributed to the education of many local school children since 1980.
