==Early life==
Rowntree was the son of Arnold Rowntree and a nephew of the chocolatier and social-reformer Joseph Rowntree. He was educated at Earnseat School in Arnside, and then at Bootham School in York where he became head boy. He won a scholarship to Queen's College, Oxford where he read PPE for two years until the Second World War intervened.〔(Guardian obituary )〕
A conscientious objector, he helped Paul Cadbury and Michael Barratt Brown to re-establish the Friends Ambulance Unit ("FAU") holding many leadership positions. He worked in Finland in 1940, then in Cairo, and became his FAU unit's leader in North Africa and then into Italy. Later he co-ordinated the work of all FAU units in Germany. At the end of the war, he married Anna Crosfield, a textiles' artist. They went on to have three children.〔(Yorkshire Post obituary )〕
