Giles Monks

Giles has lived in Marsworth since 2000. Before that he lived in Ivinghoe, but is originally from London. He lives on Vicarage Road with his wife Ruth and three children: Thomas and Isobel who are currently at University, while James still attends Tring School. Giles is a secondary school teacher in Bushey.

Giles joined the Parish Council in 2006 and has been Vice-Chair since 2011. In 2019, he led the Parish Council’s project to establish the Polish memorial sign at the site of the former Polish resettlement camp in Marsworth. This was unveiled by the Polish Military Attaché and celebrated by former residents, villagers and the wider Polish community.

Giles is also Chair of Governors at Marsworth School, and supports All Saint’s Church, also helping to mow the churchyard and assist at fundraising events including the Fun Run. A keen supporter of the Steam Rally and long-standing volunteer, he has also organised other events for the village including the 2012 Jubilee and Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration. As a Parish Councillor, he aims to provide a pragmatic and practical view to address local concerns, maintaining and strengthening our village community.
