Marhamchurch Parish Council is made up of 10 Councillors.
Tony Perry – Chair

I first moved to Marhamchurch when I purchased The Bullers Arms in March 1994. My family had been farming in Cornwall since 1948, I went to Whitstone CP school and then on to Launceston college. When the Bullers Arms came on the market it seemed an opportunity too good to miss, so my brother and I bought it. I had many happy years there and always made sure that the pub remained at the heart of the village. When we sold the business in 2006, I knew there was nowhere else that I would want to live and have been living in the village for 28 years.
I have been a Parish Councillor for about 12 years now, and currently sit as Chairman, and have been since 2022. I enjoy the many and varied interests that come with the position. I am portfolio holder for the Parish Council Cemetery, along with Planning and the Memorial Garden. You'll often see me keeping the Cemetery and Playpark in order. To be able to carry on serving the village, as I did when I was at The Bullers, is truly a privilege and one I hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

Born and bred in the county, I have lived in Marhamchurch for over 20 years. I am currently responsible for exploring planning applications and to make recommendations to the full council. I also carry out the quarterly financial checks in conjunction with the parish clerk. I’m an honest, fair and open councillor with no political affiliation and try to examine all parish council matters to achieve the best outcome for the parish.

I have recently returned to Marhamchurch after being away for 30
years. I previously grew up in Marhamchurch and have returned home!! I am currently Secretary of The Revel, and The Village Christmas Tree Committee. I am also Chairman of the fundraising committee for the Bude RNLI. My Parish Council responsibilities include The Bus Shelter, Emergency Planning, Marhamchurch Primary School, Parish Cemetery, and the Planters. I love being back in the village and joined the Parish Council and other committees so I could be part of Village life and help it through the next generation of challenges. My door is always open for anyone who wishes to talk about anything, you never know there might even be tea and cake! [email protected] 07824 617 006 View Register of Interests for Kerstie Hunter |

Having lived in Marhamchurch Parish for nearly 30 years, I was honoured and proud to lead the campaign of opposition to the Bude-Stratton proposal to take over the parish in 2019. The campaign centred around highlighting our unique history and heritage. Leading the team who organised the parish council's much praised Armistice Centenary Commemoration event is another highlight of my time as a parish councillor. While I passionately fought for Marhamchurch to be represented by our own parish council, I recognise the importance of working with neighbouring parishes to secure best outcomes on issues like delivery of health services. I now sit on Bude-Stratton Town Council, as well as Poundstock Parish Council, where I am the current vice-chair.
