Pember originally trained as an architect. In 1928 he designed the sets for Alfred Hitchcock's film '' Easy Virtue'', adapted from the play by Noël Coward.

Pember, Hampshire
Fair Oak is a large village to the east of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England. Together with the village of Horton Heath, which lies to the south, it is part of the civil parish of Fair Oak and Horton Heath. History Fair Oak takes its name from a tree in the Square which was felled and replaced on 30 February 1843. A fair took place under the tree in June every year until 1918, and local historians believe this provided the tree, and subsequently the village around it, with its name. Documentary evidence exists of a settlement in the area called Cnolgette in 901 AD. The village has a history of sand quarrying, with some of the newer parts built over old restored quarries.British Geological Survey (1987), ''Southampton. England and Wales Sheet 315.
