Peter Ferwerda (1947–) moved to Warwick Village in 1976, after living in London for about ten years. He was born in the Netherlands and originally came to Peterborough when he was four years old.
Peter is the owner of Warwick Lawn Ornaments, where he develops molds for cement lawn ornaments, then makes the actual ornaments and paints them. His display includes about 1,100 different styles. He purchased this business from Wally Cleator one day as he was driving truck through the village, having decided that driving truck as an occupation was not for him.
Peter Ferwerda is also the Chief of the Warwick Volunteer Fire Department, having been a member since he arrived in the village.
Peter Ferwerda has two daughters, Ann and Laura. He said in a newspaper interview “I enjoy Warwick very much. It’s a great place to raise the kids.”
Peter and his wife Lyn continue to live in Warwick Village.
