Sharpham House People

Janey Dormheim

House Manager

Janey runs the House, looking after the building and the people within it.

She's impressed by The Sharpham Trust's ethos. "I really believe Sharpham is living its mission," she said. "The Estate is living up to what it says it wants to achieve and I want a role in that".

Anthony Wall

Sharpham House Cook

Antony loves working with the fresh ingredients grown in our Walled Garden to create the vegetarian and vegan food that nourishes our retreatants.

“That's the best thing: being able to create some incredible stuff with something picked that morning and serve it the same day,” says Antony.

When he's not making delicious meals - he previously worked at Riverford Field Kitchen - he's exploring the trees here on the Sharpham Estate.

Amanda Lee-Cornell

Housekeeper

Amanda helps to make sure Sharpham House is clean, comfy and tidy for us and our visitors - and she's great at it too.

"It's the only place I've ever worked where I leave feeling calmer than when I arrived," she says. "It's such a lovely place to work".

Sarah Blockley

Housekeeper

Sarah is part of the vital housekeeping team that looks after Sharpham House.

She says: "It's genuinely beautiful and tranquil here. Every morning when I drive onto the Estate I feel blessed that this is where I come and that's a rare thing."

Rachel Probert

Housekeeper

Rachel loves meeting the retreatants when she's looking after Sharpham House.

"It's enjoyable to get to know people from all different walks of life while I'm here," she says.

Rachel completed an 8-week course in mindfulness a decade before she ended up working here. "I felt then that Sharpham was a special place that I felt an affinity with and I hoped one day I'd work at. Now here I am and it has lived up to my expectations."
