Biography

James Taylor Hawksley, born in 1838, devoted himself to the rhythms of Tenby life and took every opportunity to support his fellow townspeople. Though records only hint at the exact nature of his calling, his enduring presence in the harbour town through changing decades testified to a steady commitment to the place he called home.

Those who knew him valued his calm breadth of experience and the quiet solidity with which he met the challenges of daily life, leaving Tenby a little stronger for his years of conscientious attention.
