Councillors and staff were greatly saddened by the sudden loss of Clive Wood who passed away on Wednesday 29th March 2023.

Clive Wood, had been a member of Rushden Town Council since it was formed in 2000, until 2015. Clive was the first Town Mayor of Rushden and retained this role from 2000-2002.

He was well known and highly respected throughout the town, where he was ward member for the Spencer ward.

One of Clive’s proudest moments was in 1985, when, as Chairman of the District of East Northamptonshire he had the honour to greet Her Majesty the Queen when she visited the area to tour her local Duchy of Lancaster estate holdings.

Clive Wood had also been a valued member of East Northamptonshire Council Having spent 35 years on East Northamptonshire Council, Clive Wood is one of the few councillors to have been chairman twice.

In February 2019 Clive Wood was recognised for his service to East Northamptonshire and became Honorary Aldermen of the district at a special ceremony.

Clive was an extremely knowledgeable councillor and his love of Rushden was unprecedented. He was a passionate historian and saving Rushden Hall through the establishment of the Rushden Amenities Society is something we should all be extremely grateful for.

Rushden Hall was Clive’s ‘baby’ and his own unique tours of the Hall will be sadly missed. Thankfully, Clive managed to get his book of Rushden Hall published, as this is a very important historical record of Rushden and Rushden Hall.

Not only was Clive an exceptional Councillor and historian but also a kind, considerate, true gentleman.

As a mark of respect for this serving Councillor, Rushden Town Council will be flying the Union Flag at half-mast at the Memorial Garden, Rushden.
