Works
Betty Rea's sculpture has been the subject of recent research published by the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds in 2003.
Her 1959 Stretching Figure (bronze resin), was described by Gillian Whiteley as "expressing the diverse emotions, activities, and grace of youth". It is held by the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry.
Her last work, 'Swimmers', completed posthumously by John W Mills, stands in the grounds of Cambridge Parkside swimming pool.

“The hippopotamus’s day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way—
The Church can sleep and feed at once.”

“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
