Elizabeth Garnett (23 September 1839 – 22 March 1921) was a British missionary to navvies and an author.

Her father conducted a service as Vicar of Otley for the men killed building the Bramhope Tunnel.

[1] In about 1872 Garnett was moved by a camp of navvies who were encamped near her home who were involved in building Lindley Wood Reservoir.

The Sunday School teachers and Evans founded a mission to the navvies by writing hundreds of letters to obtain support.

[1] The Church of England was supportive and when the Embsay Reservoir was built near Skipton the mission was based in a mill that provided a living space for 150 workers.
