Anyone know of a Roland Creighton Sherar born 1889 in Edinburgh, Scotland - died 1990 in Norfolk, England?I am interested in his life between 1901 and 1935 in the first instance.In the latter year he bought Hall Farm, Burnham Market, Norfolk and farmed it until ca 1980s -1990s.My interest is that he was an early advocate of combine harvesting in UK and donated 4 pre-war combines to my local museum.As an ex Museum professional I offered to do some research into them as I had, at the Science Museum, London, copies of an oral history recorded in 1983 concerning some aspects of his work with combines.
