Jean has lived in Purley for over 40 years and has been involved in many aspects of village life. She was Barn Manager for several years and was active in developing the barn into the valuable community asset which it is today. Needless to say the barn is close to her heart.
She was co-founder of the Village Drama Group, Purley Players, and has also been a member of Thames Vale Singers for over 10 years where she has also played an active role.
Jean was part of the Steering Committee which organised the extensive celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and, more recently, organised events to commemorate the Queen’s 90th Birthday.
