Mr Owen Aly Clark MBE (1877-1879)

As well as being a chemist, he was Mayor of Bury St Edmunds in 1907 and from 1914-1918. The following year he received the Honorary Freedom of Bury and was awarded an MBE [presumably for services to the community]. He was also prominent in Freemasonry, an accomplished amateur pianist and organist and widely known in the Eastern Counties as a speaker.
