Steve Cribb (Peter Stephen Cribb 1944–1994) was an English disability rights activist, artist, collector and numismatist.[1]
Disability activism
[edit | edit source]Cribb was in public office as a London Borough of Hounslow councillor and later as a development officer for the disabled in the same borough. He is particularly well known for his artworks, working with the London Disability Art Forum and Shape Arts. He was the grandson of the sculptor, letter cutter and carver Joseph Cribb and brother of the numismatist Joe Cribb.

Numismatics
[edit | edit source]Cribb collected Chinese coins, Chinese paper money, postal orders, co-operative tokens, school medals and religious medals. He was one of the founders of the Oriental Numismatic Society. Some of his collections are now in the British Museum, including the Steve Cribb Collection of religious medals.[3] A selection from this vast collection was displayed in the exhibition "Receive our prayers: the Steve Cribb Collection of Catholic medals" at the British Museum, in 1995.[4] The residue of his religious medal collection is in the University of Bergen Museum collection.
