Responsibilities: Vice Chairman, Planning Committee and Traffic Group member, 

Originally from Manchester, Jerry joined the RAF and served 16 years as a weapons technician in posts both home and abroad. This was followed by 7 years in the Middle East before returning to the Cambridge area to marry Christine. He then worked for Network Rail as a signals technician before taking early retirement in 2016. He and Christine (Chrissie) looked to find somewhere away from the city life and decided on Easton on the Hill as a place to settle. They were both struck by the friendliness of the villagers and soon made many new friends. Chrissie is a member of the Horticultural and Crafts Society, both are members of the Bowls Club and Jerry has recently joined the widely acclaimed male voice choir “Harmony on the Hill” and is learning to ring the Church bells. He now welcomes the opportunity to give something back to the Village by serving on the Parish Council.

Responsibilities: Playing Fields Working Party

I moved to Easton on the Hill in October 2017, with my wife Karin. We have 2 children, the eldest works in Peterborough and the youngest is at Royal Agricultural University Cirencester studying Rural Land Management. We also have a dog, Lilly and often meet other residents during our dog walks.

My work is based in Peterborough and which also takes me around the country on business.

I recently joined up with Volunteer Action, based in Oundle, as a volunteer driver. This scheme offers lifts to people who are unable to get this kind of support from friends or family, or a reliable local bus service.

My previous job was a farm manager of a large estate in North Norfolk. It was here that I became a parish councillor for Barsham and Houghton Parish Council. This parish is made up of 4 villages and I became vice chairman in 2009.

Now that we have lived in Easton for over a year and I would like to get more involved with what is happening in our local community and have an input on decisions that are made for all the villagers to benefit from. It should also give me the opportunity to meet more people from the community and hear their thoughts and needs.
