It is quite unfortunate that the famous middle-distance runner who represented Great Britain at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics, Brian Stanford Hewson is no more.
He was born to his parents on April 4, 1933, in Croydon, United Kingdom, but sadly ‘died peacefully’ in Cape Town where he had relocated in 2005 on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, according to his only daughter, Caroline. He died at the age of 89.
He was one of the best middle-distance runners and happens to be the first man to run a four-minute mile, clocking 3:59.8 at the White City Stadium in London on 28 May 1955. He won the gold medal in the 1500 meters at the 1958 European Championships.
He retired from athletics in 1960 to continue his career as a tailor, eventually setting up his own company in the East End of London. He was a married man as of his time of death and he was married to Marion Stiff. In this article, we will learn more about his wife and their married life.
Brian Hewson wife: Marion Stiff
Marion Stiff is one of the three women the middle-distance runner tied the knot with. She is the third wife of Hewson after two failed marriages. The couple was married for more than three decades.
He got to Marion Stiff after his divorce in 1980 and parted ways with her in 2022 after his demise. He had four stepchildren Tim, Sally, Robert, and Penny with his wife. Little is known about her personal life since she decided to live a private life regardless of her status.
