Olympic high jumper Barbara Lawton [nee Inkpen], 1949-2021
Barbara Lawton [nee Inkpen], one of the greatest high jumpers Britain ever produced, has sadly passed away aged 71.
The double Olympian and Commonwealth gold medallist leaves behind former Belgrave president Carl, a son, daughter and four grandchildren.
Barbara, who won gold at the Christchurch Commonwealth Games in 1974, also placed 4th at the 197s Munich Olympics, pictured here.
