Councillor Gwyneth Mellors

My name is Gwyneth Mellors. I was born and brought up in Burton Latimer, attending the County Infants and Junior Schools (now St Mary’s Primary School).

After leaving school, I worked at Kettering Library, which included a day a week at Burton Latimer Library.

After attending university, I worked for Northamptonshire Library Service (32 years), the NCC Visual Impairment Unit (4 years), Tresham College (5 years), and 5 years with my own business as a home help (sole trader).

I attend St Mary’s Church, Burton Latimer and have had various Church Council responsibilities throughout the years.

I am a volunteer at the Burton Latimer Heritage Society and at Chester House Archaeological Research Centre.

I love gardening, reading, jigsaws, history, and hedgehogs and would like to encourage people to create hedgehog highways by leaving a gap in their fences.
