Chair

 Hi, I am Wendi Mclean, Chair of the Trustees. I work alongside the team to support the continued development of Thorpe Hall and to help ensure it remains a welcoming and inclusive space at the heart of our community. 

I have been a coach for over 20 years and run my own coaching business, supporting individuals, particularly women, through periods of life and career change, helping them find clarity and move forward with confidence. More recently, I have also trained as a Will Writer and work freelance for Trusted Law in Wymondham 

I have lived in Norfolk since 2017 and in the village of Ashwellthorpe since 2018. 

I moved to Ashwellthorpe with my young family in 2021 after living in South Norfolk for many years. I work for the NHS in a communications and engagement role. Before this I organised events for a national media company for a decade. 

I am proud to be Trustee with a personal ambition to see more family orientated events take place at the hall.

Hi, I am David, the Treasurer of the Trust. I was the project manager for the acceptance team for Thorpe Hall since its inception as a CIO. It is my ambition to see the amazing Thorpe Hall thrive with many community-centred events. I currently run the monthly quiz night on the last Friday of each month.

In run my own company advising businesses and government in behavioural risk, deception detection and advanced interviewing skills. In my spare time I volunteer on the North Norfolk Railway. I have lived in Norfolk since 2003, moving into the village of Ashwellthorpe in 2018.

Hello, my name is Linda and I live in Fundenhall and can often be seen walking my dog along the road and footpaths towards Ashwellthorpe. I took voluntary redundancy from the hospitality sector to begin retirement. 

I helped set up and run the Line Dance Club in 1997 and began teaching 3 years ago. So, come along and join us, you’re most welcome, and there’s no such thing as two left feet!

Hello, I have been a resident of Ashwellthorpe since 2014.  

In addition to being a trustee, I also serve as Premises Manager, responsible for the day to day running of the hall.

 I am delighted to join the trustees of Thorpe Hall, Ashwellthorpe, South Norfolk is a place that means a great deal to me. As a parish and district councillor, I am committed to supporting community life. I believe in connection, inclusion, and opportunity, and look forward to helping Thorpe Hall grow as a welcoming, vibrant hub for all to enjoy. 

Ashwellthorpe is a place I’ve been closely connected to for many years. As Chair of Ashwellthorpe & Fundenhall Parish Council, I saw the building and transfer of Thorpe Hall and its value to the community. I’m actively involved in village life and local projects. With a creative career in art and fashion, I enjoy supporting community initiatives and am committed to helping Thorpe Hall thrive as a welcoming, inspiring space for all.
