Betty Farmer

Yeoman of Regard - 2003

Without Betty Farmer, the Sudbury Savoyards may never have come into existence at all. In 1961, she proposed that the church produce Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury, for which she would direct the music. This event, entitled “An Evening of Music”, took place as a fundraiser for the proposed new Methodist Church Building Fund.
