Ken Wycherley 1943 –2014

Ken Wycherley served with UCCF from 1975 to 1989, first as a Travelling Secretary, then on the senior staff team.

In the early 1980s he played a strategic role in restructuring the student department to meet the needs of rapid growth in the tertiary sector. Ken’s clarity of thought was appreciated by staff and student leaders alike, as policies and guidance were formulated on a range of campus issues. He always retained a strong commitment to evangelism and mission.

Ken won a scholarship to Merchant Taylors’ School, Northwood, then read Chemistry at St Catherine’s College, Oxford, where he served as Vice-President of the OICCU. His PhD was gained at Bristol, in the cryogenics of glass. In 1968 he married Lin Knipe. After three years of teaching in Kumasi University, Ghana, Ken took up a Research Fellowship in 1972 at Sheffield. He then joined UCCF. He had two daughters, Amanda and Susanna, and five grandchildren.
