Your committee

Dorothy Collier (Vice-Chair)

Born and bred in Allendale, Dorothy’s lifelong interest in local history focuses in particular on family histories, together with the preservation and archiving of Allen Valleys historical records and traditions.

Carol Davison

Growing up at Bishopfield farm in Allendale gave Carol a deep appreciation for the area and its local history. Elements of this are reflected – alongside subsequent global experiences – in the art she creates and showcases at her own gallery at Allen Mill.

Valeria Dunn (Chair)

Born into a long-established local family, Valeria is keen to share and learn more alongside anyone who is interested in the East and West Allendales. A regular walker, Valeria’s particular interest is in identifying and preserving historical heritage in the landscape, and in growing the junior section of the Group.

Jared Dunn (Secretary)

Jared doesn’t live in Allendale full-time but visits a good deal. With a background in historical geography, he continues to grow his knowledge of the East and West Allendales and is happy to share that with anyone who is enthusiastic (or even slightly interested!) in knowing more.
