Early life and education
Wilmut was born in Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire, England. Wilmut’s father, Leonard Wilmut, was a mathematics teacher who suffered from diabetes for fifty years, which eventually caused him to become blind. He was a student of the former Boys’ High School, in Scarborough, where his father taught. Wilmut’s early desire was to embark on a naval career, but he was unable to do so due to his colour blindness. As a school boy, Wilmut worked as a farm hand on weekends, which inspired him to study Agriculture at the University of Nottingham.
