SEND & RIPLEY HISTORY SOCIETY

John was one of our founder members in 1975 and remained actively involved until very recently. He was responsible for much of our research into local buildings and families and served as our representative on the village hall committee.

Cameron has had two careers, as a merchant banker then a non-fiction book publisher. He has been a member of S&RHS since shortly after moving to the area in 2006 and chairman since 2015. He edits our journals, has a particular interest in old buildings and leads our guided walks around Ripley village.

Clare has had a lifelong interest in history and studied history and politics at the University of York. Never quite finding the right career, she realises that museum curating was what she should have done. For a number of years she has been the principal curator of the Society's little museum, achieving accreditation status in 2018.

Christina lives on Send Marsh Green and has been our treasurer since 1999. She is also our membership secretary and manages the distribution of the journals.

​

Chris works for the BBC as an Operational Schedules Manager for 6Music and Radio 2. He joined the History Society a few years ago and looks after the social media platforms and the website.

Alan is a retired chartered engineer with a passion for local history, genealogy and all things military.
He is an inveterate hoarder, loves researching and writing articles for the journal, recording local memories and representing the society as secretary and trustee of Ripley village hall.

Born and raised in rural Lincolnshire Anne has always taken an interest in natural history and geological changes to our landscapes. She had a career in occupational therapy working with people with dementia. Since retirement she has had time to devote to archeology and to the Society’s work on recording oral history in Send & Ripley.
