Abstract
Richard Lecomber was born in 1937. His father was a mathematics teacher at Kings College School, Wimbledon, in the days when it was a direct grant school. Richard was educated at Bryanston, where he became head boy, captain of rugby and an opening batsman in the first eleven. He spent his school days in a place of great beauty, for Bryanston is situated in splendid sylvan parkland and set in the midst of the hilly and upspoilt Dorset countryside. It was surely no accident that Richard was later to become involved in conservation societies and to turn his attention to environmental economics.
