Manx cat
In retirement he became Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man: he launched major initiatives there in the early 1960s to increase tourism, including the establishment of a new casino, and promoted the local tax incentives. He also sent the Home Office a Manx cat to replace the one they had lost. He subsequently wrote a memoir entitled "Gentleman Pauper" published in 1984. He is buried in Wrentham cemetery in Suffolk.
