Margot Boyd(1913-2008)

Best known as Mrs Marjorie Antrobus in the radio series 'The Archers', a role which was supposed to be a one-off but which she eventually played from 1984 until 2004. Knowing very little about the series she drew her inspiration for the part from her childhood years spent on a Somerset estate which her father ran. In fact she said, "Every other woman was a Mrs Antrobus".
