Peter Stanley Lyons (6 December 1927 – 28 November 2006) was a choral conductor and a headmaster of Witham Hall School.
[2] Peter, who enjoyed the compositions of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan,[1] was a member of the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge under Robin Orr.
[6] Peter formed at Alleyn’s School a lifetime friendship with fellow Marxist John Lanchbery (who would become Principal Conductor of the Royal Ballet from 1959 to 1972) and with Kenneth Spring (who would become co-founder of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain).
[10][11] Witham Hall School was during Lyons's tenure inspected by the Ministry of Education and granted the status of a trust, in 1978; and began to admit girls, from 1983.
Lady Davies subsequently was the wife of Julian Harold Legge Lambart, Vice-Provost of Eton College (from 1959 to 1967)[17] for which Witham Hall is a preparatory school.
