Egerton Bagot Byrd Levett-Scrivener

Captain Egerton Bagot Byrd Levett-Scrivener (1857–1954) was a Royal Navy Flag Lieutenant and aide to Vice Admiral George Willes in the Far East.

Born Egerton Levett, he changed his name to Levett-Scrivener on an inheritance from his aunt of Scrivener family properties at Sibton Abbey, Suffolk, which he later managed.

Egerton Levett-Scrivener's son Evelyn Harry Byrd, also joined the Royal Navy, where he rose to the rank of Commander and predeceased his father on 22 August 1950.

[16] In 2005, the Levett-Scrivener family felt compelled to purchase the local village post office and shop facing closure in this quiet corner of rural England.

Amusingly amongst the ancestors of this generation of the levett-scrivener family is another Royal Navy stalwart, Admiral William Bligh, captain of the ill-fated HMS Bounty during its mutiny.
