Dr Professor Dame Burley-Shassey
Local Caroline Gandy (39) joined when the project leader marched into the Army and Navy store where she works and singled her out as the next Margaret Rutherford! Best described as loud, mad and full of community spirit, Caroline is very well suited to her role as the heavily titled Doctor Professor Dame Burley-Shassey. Especially considering they both like reading and riding bicycles.
