Dame Cheryl Gillan's family thank community for 'wonderful' tributes to late Chesham and Amersham MP

“These tributes have been a great comfort to Cheryl’s family, for which they are immensely grateful.”
A number of people also left tributes via the BFP’s book of condolences, with former Amersham resident Martin King, who now lives in Australia, writing: “I am so very sad to learn that my MP in the UK, Dame Cheryl Gillan, has passed away.
“I’d known Cheryl since 1992 when we fought the General Election for Amersham & Chesham. She was amazing – intelligent, joyful, kind, insightful and fierce when needed.
“Cheryl was my mentor and friend in my political activism, and later as town and district councillor and Mayor of Amersham.

Dame Cheryl Gillan obituary

Last modified on Tue 6 Apr 2021 13.22 EDT
Although the Conservative politician Cheryl Gillan, who has died aged 68 after suffering from cancer, served as Welsh secretary from 2010 to 2012, her further prospects of cabinet office may have been reduced by her opposition to the government’s plans to build the HS2 high speed rail link through the Chiltern hills of her Buckinghamshire constituency.
She told her constituents in the safely Conservative suburban seat of Chesham and Amersham that she would defy the party whip – “be very, very sure of that” – during the 2010 general election that brought the Conservatives to power in coalition with the Liberal Democrats. Although in cabinet she abided by the principle of collective responsibility, she remained an opponent of the line.

A Tribute to Dame Cheryl Gillan (1952-2021)

5 Apr 2021 at 17:12
I was and am proud to call Cheryl Gillan a friend. I was so sad to learn this afternoon that she had died. She had been in poor health for some time and had been devastated by the death of her beloved husband Jack Leeming at the age of 91 in 2019. She was absolutely devoted to him and cared for him lovingly in his latter years. They were a real team. He might have been older than her but they were so well matched.
I first met Cheryl in the mid 1980s when she interviewed me to be a member of the Bow Group, back in the days when it was highly respected. They didn't accept any old rif-raff! Then after she was elected we met occasionally, but it was in 2005 that our friendship blossomed. She was on David Davis's Shadow Home Affairs team and a key supporter of his in the leadership contest. She was what one call a real trooper. There were a few big egos in that team and she would delight in puncturing them. She was happy to accept any task for the team no matter how menial. I was David's chief of staff and she would pop down to my office with increasing regularity to check how it was all going and ask what she could do to help. As time went on, and I was enjoying the job less and less, she became my mother confessor. If it hadn't been for her I might not have lasted the course.
