John Knowles was born in Kent but lived the latter part of his life in Ashburton. After service in the Navy he became famous for his publication on the Preservation of the Navy. His work treated principally with the protection of timber from dry rot by chemical and other means. So important was the topic, and so valuable his recommendations that he received lavish gifts and gold medals from the monarchs of several European and Scandinavian countries. He was elected FRS in recognition of his work and was also a Corresponding Member of the Philosophical Society of Rotterdam.
