Interests include natural history, especially bird watching and invertebrate ecology, gardening, cooking and many handicrafts.

Although still a relative newcomer to the village, I have always had an interest in all aspects of the village, whether it be historical, environmental or just social, and have tried to play my part in improving many aspects of village life. Now I have more free time, and as there appears to be a need for more councillors, I feel this is a good time to offer my services.

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 welcomed the opportunity to give something back to the Village by serving on the Parish Council.

I am a village resident and farmer.  I have lived here all my life (over 50 years) and I am the third generation in my family to farm at Fairview Farm (on the east side of the village), after my Grandparents and Great Uncle moved to the village in 1932. With my Great Uncle, Grandfather and Father all having been part of the Parish Council, I also wanted to become a Parish Councillor to try to care for and help improve this village many of us call home.

Vacancy

Due to a recent resignation, there is a notice displayed for residents to request a bye election to fill the vacancy.  If no bye election is called (it would have to be in May 2021) then the council will co-opt to the vacancy as soon as it is possible.  We would love to hear from you!

I have lived in the village since 2012, although Jodie and I did spend 3 years living in the US from 2014 to 2017.  I am originally from Peterborough and have worked for Cummins (Newage Int) for almost 25 years.  I have 2 sone from a previous relationship, both of who live away.  Sam lives in London and works in PR. Jack my eldest son lives in Tokyo with his wife Sachika and my grandson Kaede and granddaughter, Iona.

Prior to moving to the US, I spent 2 years as a director of the family charity, Home Start - Stamford, as part of the Cummins in the Community initiative.  In this role, I lead the strategic development work, creating a long term plan focused on minimising the risk of funding imbalance.  As part of my career in Cummins, I have built significant experience defining long term strategic plans by engaging multiple voices and building management and buy in.   I am a passionate believer in exploring alternatives and ensuring different views and perspectives are explored and understood.  This drives engagement and buy in as well as providing new and alternative opportunities.

 I welcome the opportunity to wotk with the Parish Council, learning and helping to build and shape the Easton of the future. 

 John has joined the Village Plan Working Party and become the new Parish Path Warden.
