Profile:
Anthony Donald Miller was the son of Simon Edward Miller who was Master Pattenmaker in 1970. Tony Miller was educated at Stowe (1951-55) then spent one year at the Governor Drummer Academy in Massachusetts. He completed his National Service between 1956-58.

He joined the Pattenmakers in 1962 and was elected to the Court in July 1990. He served as Master Pattenmaker in 1995. His son David, a stockbroker, like his late father, became a Liveryman of the Company in 1984. I have received many messages of condolence and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his widow Susan.

There is one story that was told to me by my predecessor. Maybe some of our senior Past Masters can verify. During his year of office Tony mentioned that there was a good (now world famous) restaurant near his house at Bray in Berkshire. He invited the Court there for Sunday Lunch followed by afternoon tea in his garden. That I was told was the start of the “Master’s Weekend”. An annual event which continues to this day!
