Neville Burt

Neville Burt is recently retired as a Civil Engineer at HR Wallingford, where he worked for 43 years. He specialised in dredging (why does everyone laugh?), a fascinating job that took him to many parts of the world, from government offices and board rooms to container ports and mangrove swamps. He continues to do some consultancy work.

In 1973 Neville and his first wife, Jennie, were founder members of Ridgeway Community Church. You can read an abridged history under "who we are" on this website.

Following Jennie's sudden death, from cancer in 2005, Neville remarried in April 2007 to Jean Rowlands who was well known to many as the proprietor of Annie's Tea Rooms in High Street, Wallingford, before her retirement.
