The Nugee Foundation
The connection between the Nugee family and Farlington goes back to 1782, when Griffith Richards came as a curate (see the memorial to him on the West wall of St Andrew’s Church). He, his son, Edward Tew Richards, and his grandson, Arthur James Richards, served the parish for 143 years. AJ Richards was patron and Rector.
The patron of Farlington passed to Miss Gwendolen Richards, A.J. Richards’ daughter, who lived for many years in Leigh Road, Havant, When she died she left the patronage jointly to Dr Leatherdale, Sarah Wynter Bee's father, and to the granddaughter of A.J. Richards. When she died in 1993 the patronage was inherited by her son Edward (known to everyone as Ted). In 2007 Ted founded a small charity, The Nugee Foundation, and transferred the patronage to the Trustees, himself and his four sons, John, Christopher, Andrew and Richard. On Ted's death in 2014 his four sons became the remaining trustees of the Nugee Foundation.
John runs his own financial consultancy business, Laburnum Consulting Ltd; Christopher is a High Court judge; Andrew runs a business known as Imagineear, which makes multimedia guides to museums, exhibitions and cities (and much else besides); and Richard is a retired British Army officer who served as Chief of Defence - People.
