From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pennycuick_(judge)
Sir John Pennycuick was an English barrister, judge. He was a High Court judge from 1960 to 1974, and Vice-Chancellor of the Chancery Division from the recreation of the office in 1970 until 1974. He was also an amateur tennis player who competed at the Wimbledon Championships between 1925 and 1931
John Pennycuick was the only son of the British Army officer and engineer Colonel John Pennycuick, CSI (1841-1911) [and Georgina Pennycuick (née Grace)]. His father was the tenth of the eleven children of Brigadier John Pennycuick (1789-1849), who was killed in the Battle of Chillianwala in the Second Anglo-Sikh War.
John Pennycuick, jnr., was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. He also attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and later became a second lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards in 1919. He was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1925, where later he became a bencher in 1954.[6] He became a Queen’s Counsel in 1947.
He was appointed as a High Court judge in 1960, in the Chancery Division, and received the customary knighthood. Pennycuick became the first modern Vice-Chancellor in July 1970 when the office was revived to replace the title of “Senior Judge” for the head of the Chancery Division.
He was appointed as a Privy Counsellor in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in June 1974, and retired as a full-time Chancery judge in September 1974, although he continued to sit as a judge occasionally. He was Treasurer of the Inner Temple from 1978 to 1979.
