| Description: |
Gwen Burnell is one of those rare things, somebody who has lived in Wootton Courtenay all her life. Her parents farmed at Fairgarden and she worked with her father after she left school. She loves farming, and hunting, and dogs, and has always been an outdoor person. She rode the same pony to the opening meet for 17 years. She stayed on the farm as a land girl during the war, when they had three evacuee children, and met her husband at a benefit dance in Exford.
