= Peggy Wilson (Actor and Archaeologist) = Peggy Wilson, born Margaret Markham Dean in London in 1911, was an actress, under her maiden name, who later worked as an archaeologist post World War 2.

Peggy, and her husband Kenneth (Ken) set up home in Ilkley, from where they began a programme of re-invigorating Yorkshire archaeology. As part of the plan, they organised small-scale digs using the very best of current methodology; someone once remarked, “Peggy out-Wheelered Mortimer Wheeler himself.”

"Several of her protégés became supervisors on some of the major digs of the 1960s, including Mucking, Sutton Hoo (second dig under Rupert Bruce-Mitford & Paul Ashbee), West Stow, and Silbury Hill. She worked as deputy director for archaeologists like Paul Ashbee and Laurence Butler", and co-directed digs with her husband, Kenneth.
