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.

The club’s thoughts are with Carl and his family.
