Born in High St, Tonbridge, Kent over a tailor's shop and lived there until 1907 when they moved to three bed house in Chesham Road, Guildford until 1918. Moved due to father's job.	Started at five at small prep school in Tonbridge. Then went to Trinity School, mixed Church of England school at seven years. AC rather a backward child so father would visit school to get them to push him. Left at 14. Went to technical college for commercial courses in the evenings. Would like to have had a public school education which gave confidence. Brothers went to Grammar School.	Paternal grandparents were bakers. Father was a tailor and a voluntary fireman.

Went into an Inland Revenue firm through his father. First task was to write 75 letters in longhand at four shillings and six pence a week. He then went to a private electrical company to learn about company book keeping at 12 shillings and six pence a week. He moved on to Dennis Bros' accounts department with ledger work at 17 shillings and six pence week. Went into army in 1918 then started in father's business. Told by his future wife that he was wasting time working for father so found a job as assistant cutter in High Wycombe. Stayed there until father died in 1924 and then took over father's business. Before marriage, wife worked as clerk to the Town Clerk. She later helped AC run the business.	Father was a staunch Conservative who thought the anarchist; Ramsey MacDonald was ruining the country. Member of the Primrose League. AC voted Conservative.	Father was a Wesleyan but occasionally went to Church of England. Mother went to St Mary’s and family had own pew.

Guildford smothered with landed gentry pre-1914, the High Street would be lined with carriages. It was a favourite place for retired officers so always a lot of titles - colonel etc. Difference between High Street and back street so AC's father went up in world when he moved to High Street.
