WAKAF TUAN FARRER
Wakaf Tuan Farrer adalah sebuah wakaf bersejarah yang terkenal di Pasir Puteh, Kelantan untuk memperingati Acting District Officer atau Pegawai Daerah Pasir Puteh Tuan RGB Farrer. Pada 5 Jun 1928 Tuan Farrer, 31 tahun, telah meninggal dunia secara tragis ketika semasa menyambut suatu upacara perayaan apabila cuba menyalakan bunga api buatan Jepun. Beberapa buah bunga api meletup tetapi yang seterusnya tidak meletup. Apabila dia sedang memeriksanya tiba tiba ia meletup dan dia tercedera di bahagian perut. Beliau meninggal dunia sebelum doktor sempat memberi bantuan. Pada tahun 1930 ibubapa mendiang Tuan Farrer telah membina Wakaf Farrer ini untuk mengingati anaknya yang bertugas di Kelantan dari tahun 1925 sehingga 1928. - AWW2
