(Turner) (1902-1983) English composer. Among his works are Façade 1923, a series of instrumental pieces designed to be played in conjunction with the recitation of surrealist poems by Edith Sitwell; the oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast 1931; and Variations on a Theme by Hindemith 1963.

(Thomas Sinton) (1903-) Irish physicist who collaborated with John Cockcroft on investigating the structure of the atom. In 1932 they succeeded in splitting the atom; for this experiment they shared the 1951 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Walton and Cockcroft built the first successful particle accelerator. This used an arrangement of condensers to produce a beam of protons and was completed in 1932.
Walton was born in County Waterford and studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and 1927–34 at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. He returned to Trinity and was professor there 1947–74.
Using the proton beam to bombard lithium, Walton and Cockcroft observed the production of large quantities of alpha particles, showing that the lithium nuclei had captured the protons and formed unstable beryllium nuclei which instantaneously decayed into two alpha particles traveling in opposite directions. They detected these alpha particles with a fluorescent screen. Later they investigated the transmutation of other light elements using proton beams, and also deuterons (nuclei of deuterium) derived from heavy water.

(1593-1683) English author. He is known for his classic fishing text Compleat Angler 1653. He also wrote short biographies of the poets George Herbert and John Donne and the theologian Richard Hooker.
He was born in Stafford and settled in London as an ironmonger.
