New Benefactors
During the Commemoration of the Benefactors Service last month, Sedbergh School took the unusual step of adding three friends of Sedbergh to our list of benefactors. Tim Pick (pictured above with Norman Berry), Evans House 1941 – 45, played for the 1st XV and won the Wilson Run in 1945. After leaving school he trained as a doctor. He was a loyal friend to the School, particularly in his role as Foundation Trustee. John Merrington (Winder House 1943 – 48) also trained as a doctor. He later became a lecturer in Medicine. We were honoured that Dr Merrington chose to leave a substantial legacy to the School. Heather Hardy was the daughter of John Bannister Buckle (Hart House 1913 – 17). Heather was a long-time supporter of the School who chose to remember the School in honour of her father.
The addition of these supporters to our benefactors list is just a small expression of our gratitude for their tremendously generous gifts. Their legacies will play a vital role in providing life changing opportunities through the Roger Lupton Scholarship and Bursary Scheme.
