  • Percy Neville Ure (10 de mayo de 1879 ​-3 de abril de 1950)​ fue el primer Profesor de Clásicas de la Universidad de Reading (1911-1946) y el fundador del Museo de Arqueología Griega de Ure en Reading. Su esposa y ex-alumna en Reading, Annie Ure (1893-1976),​ fue la primera conservadora del museo desde 1922 hasta su muerte.​​​ Los Ure eran expertos en antigüedades griegas y egipcias, y en particular en cerámica griega. Con Ronald M. Burrows, realizaron importantes excavaciones en Rhitsona en Beocia, Grecia. Percy ha sido descrito como «un inveterado recolector de fragmentos» ​ que adquiría donde podía, incluso de niños o desechados bajo los arbustos en sitios arqueológicos como Rhitsona o Micenas. Muchos estaban empaquetados en las cajas de los cigarrillos favoritos de Percy. También aceptó una donación de artículos «maltratados» del Museo Británico. Percy coleccionaba artículos sencillos y funcionales descuidados por otros estudiosos, creyendo que podrían ser tan informativos como piezas más atractivas.​ Juntos, los Ures disfrutaron de la pasión por la cerámica griega y la bohemia en particular. Escribieron varios libros importantes sobre los hallazgos en Rhitsona así como más de cincuenta artículos sobre la cerámica griega. En 1954 produjeron un importante volumen en la serie internacional, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, que cubría aproximadamente la mitad de la actual colección del Museo del Ure. (es)

The Ures were experts on Greek and Egyptian antiquities, and particularly Greek ceramics. With Ronald M. Burrows, they undertook important excavations at Rhitsona in Boeotia, Greece. Percy has been described as "an inveterate picker-up of fragments" which he acquired wherever he could, including from children or discarded under bushes at archaeological sites like Rhitsona or Mycenae. Many were packed in the boxes of Percy's favourite cigarettes. He also accepted a donation of "battered" items from the British Museum. Percy collected plain and functional items neglected by other scholars, believing that they might be as informative as more attractive pieces. Together the Ures enjoyed a passion for Greek ceramics and Boeotian pottery in particular. They wrote several important books on finds at Rhitsona as well as over fifty articles on Greek pottery. In 1954 they produced an important volume in the international series, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, which covered about half of the current Ure Museum collection. (en)
