Peter DuncanDAWSONPeter Dawson of Trumpington died peacefully at home after a short illness, surrounded by family, on November 10th 2025. He was a stalwart of the community, having been involved in all aspects of village life for nearly 60 years. From Scouts to AmDram, charity events to allotments, he was usually there somewhere. A founder member of the local History Group, he also acted as Secretary of Trumpington Environmental Action Group. He had been employed by Cambridge University Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), later to become part of the Midland Examining Group, until his retirement.

The family would like to inform you that his Funeral will take place at Trumpington Parish Church on Monday December 15th at 12 noon. All those who wish to attend are welcome. For those unable to travel, a Zoom meeting link can be supplied on request from the Church.

The Service will be followed by a private burial where he will be reunited with his wife Ina.

The family would like to request donations in lieu of flowers which can be made online, sent to Richard Stebbings Funeral Directors, or brought to the Church on the day. This will benefit Arthur Rank Hospice - whose care and support in his final days was invaluable to both Peter and his family, and are a Charity that is facing funding challenges.

I would like to pay tribute here to Peter D. Dawson. As a Swiss student at Cambridge from January to July 1978, I had the good fortune and privilege of staying with Peter and Ina, who were wonderful landlords. I also remember playing a lot with their adorable children, Andrew and Kristina. My heart goes out to them today. Peter and I never stopped sending each other Christmas and New Year's greetings, along with some news about the past year. For 46 years, until December 2024. This loyalty was certainly one of Peter's many qualities, along with his kindness and intelligence, not to mention his humor. Thank you so much, dear Peter, you and Ina will always remain in my memory.

So sorry to hear the news about Peter’s passing. He was part my our small MEG Division unit when I joined UCLES. A great team with Peter one of the main leaders. Always a joy to work with. A real family of us based in the old Perse building. Fond memories

My condolences on your loss. Peter was a wonderful, gentle man. I knew him through the Drama Circle, and worked with him many times on different productions through the years. May he rest in peace.
