Carole has been the Parish Clerk since June 2023, so is still learning the role.

Carole grew up in Bakewell, Derbyshire and started her working life as a nurse, training in Sheffield before returning back to the Peak District once qualified. She has also been in business with her husband, firstly running a country pub in the South Yorkshire part of the Peak District and then building, creating and running a successful cafe in the midst of the Peak District. She retired from her last job as a Practice Manager for a GP surgery before moving to Grindon.
Carole occasionally does a shift helping out as a receptionist at the local GP practice when they need cover.
