Cllr Jane Rylah

My early years were spent in Dewsbury, where my parents also grew up. I studied Biochemistry at Liverpool University and then worked as a Medical Scientist in Pathology and Leukaemia Research, at the Hammersmith Hospital in London. For the last 30 years I have taught Chemistry and Biology in schools and colleges in London, Greater Manchester, and for the last 18 years at Greenhead College. Alongside teaching biology at GC, I have been a Staff Governor and the School Liaison and Marketing Manager. I am a keen member of Holmfirth Tennis Club, and enjoy yoga, walking and cycling (with my e bike). I live at the heart of Holmfirth on Dunford Road, and I am proud to represent residents as Parish Councillor.
