I am a retired solicitor and moved from London to Fairford in 2018. As a child, I lived on Butterrow below Rodborough Common. My parents later farmed near Malmesbury before moving first to Chedworth and finally to Kemble Wick. They are both buried at St Matthew’s Church, Coates where my father’s great uncle was Rector between 1913 and 1936. I am married (to another retired solicitor) and we have two grown up daughters who live in London and St Margaret’s and frequently visit us. I am a member of St Mary’s Church and the Parochial Church Council. I am Chairman of Fairford and District u3a. I am District Councillor for Fairford North on Cotswold District Council. It is very important to me to be able to support this wonderful school as a Foundation Governor.
