Avril Coleridge-Taylor — The Seaford Composer Silenced by Apartheid

Avril Coleridge-Taylor conducted at the Royal Albert Hall in 1933, was the first woman to conduct the band of the Royal Marines, and flew to Johannesburg on the world's first commercial jet flight in 1952. On that same trip the apartheid government discovered her Black heritage and banned her from working, so she kept composing under the pseudonym Peter Riley. She spent her final years at Stone's House on Crouch Lane in Seaford, where a blue plaque now remembers her.

Cuthbert Bromley VC — Seaford's "Six VCs Before Breakfast" Hero

Major Cuthbert Bromley, whose family home was Sutton Corner, is the only Victoria Cross holder commemorated on Seaford's war memorial. In April 1915 he helped the Lancashire Fusiliers fight ashore at W Beach, Gallipoli, in the action remembered as the regiment's "six VCs before breakfast," then died when his troopship was torpedoed that August. A century later the town laid a commemorative paving stone in his name.
