The son of E. W. Tew and his wife, Catherine Isabel Hawke (sister of Lord Hawke),[1] [2] he was born in August 1908 at Wigginton, Yorkshire. He was educated at Winchester College,[3] before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[4] While studying at Oxford, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1928, against Kent and the touring West Indians at Oxford.[5] He scored 5 runs in his two matches,[6] in addition to taking 3 wickets.[7]
After graduating from Oxford, he became a police officer. He served with Lincolnshire Constabulary, rising to the rank of inspector by 1946.[8] He was appointed as chief constable of Shropshire Constabulary on 5 February 1946, however he resigned from the post just one day later for personal reasons and was succeeded by Douglas Osmond.[9]
He married Suffolk artist Beryl Alice Matchwick in 1948.[10] He continued to serve in the police, reaching the rank of superintendent for the Cleethorpes Division of Lincolnshire Constabulary.[3] In his later years, he lived with his wife at Ramsbury near Marlborough.[10] Tew died in June 1987, aged 78, at the Princess Margaret Hospital, Swindon.[3] His brother, John, also played first-class cricket.
