John Hanbury Pawle (18 May 1915 – 20 January 2010) was an English sportsman, stockbroker and painter.
Pawle was educated at
Free Foresters.[2] At Cambridge he also won a blue for tennis in 1936 and half-blues for real tennis in 1935, 1936 and 1937.[3] He then joined the Westminster School of Art as a student of art.[4]
On the outbreak of war in 1939, Pawle joined the
racquets champion four years running, 1947–50, and was twice in the world singles final, losing each time to Jim Dear.[5]
After retiring from the City in 1979, Pawle became a full-time artist, holding a number of one-man shows.[4]
