Biography
William Lukin spent a long career at sea, commanding vessels through years of conflict and ensuring the Royal Navy kept its steady watch. After his seafaring days he returned to Norfolk with a deep appreciation for the quietness of Felbrigg and the gratitude of those who awaited his safe return.
He is remembered at St Margaret as a disciplined officer softened by the friendships he cultivated ashore, and his comrades praised him for a generosity that matched his courage.
