Our Committee

The committee of Little Midhurst Management Limited is made up of volunteers whom are both shareholders and residents of Barlavington Way and Poplar Way. They work together to administer the tasks required to meet the remit of the company, looking after the estate and supporting fellow shareholders and residents.

  • Nick Franklin - Chair

    My wife Jude & I moved to Midhurst 3 years ago & we love living here. We feel that Midhurst offers the perfect blend of what we are looking for in a place to live. Rural enough for me & somewhere Jude can get a cappuccino! As I grew up on a farm in Wiltshire & Jude grew up in Winchester. We love living in Little Midhurst due to the individuality of all of the properties & we have felt incredibly welcomed since moving here. You may see me walking our wired haired vizsla called Rufus especially in the winter. In the summer you will probably find me down at the ruins playing cricket for Midhurst.

  • Odette Marshall

    Odette lived abroad for 24 years, in Italy, the USA but mostly Spain and returned to live with her mother in Barlavington Way some 19 years ago. Odette taught English at the Midhurst Intermediate School and later Midhurst Rother College until she retired 4 years ago. Odette is now an enthusiastic member of the U3A and wardrobe Mistress for the Midhurst Players. She love’s to be doing something creative and also enjoys the garden and is looking forward to helping keep Little Midhurst the beautiful place that we all chose to live.
