About Gill

Gill was a passionate supporter of Bude Sea Pool. She was born in Crediton and first visited the Sea Pool at the age of 3 and learnt to swim there a little later. Her father’s career took the family to London but she continued to visit Crediton and Bude in school holidays. In London she trained as a solicitor, met her husband, Chris, raised a family but returned to Bude and the Sea Pool whenever she could. After, the arrival of their grandchildren they came to Bude every year and Gill instilled in her whole family her love of the Sea Pool. When, Gill and Chris moved to Bude from the Cotswolds Gill threw herself into supporting Bude Sea Pool becoming an active committee member and Trustee. Tragically at age 70, Gill died very suddenly from a heart attack in March 2023 and is much missed by everyone.
