Mary GIBBONS arrived in Weston in 1841 to become the Post Mistress. She served in this capacity for a further 15 years.  This was a time of great expansion of Weston due to the arrival of the railway consequently her role was extremely important and as such she became a Weston Worthy.  Her profile can now be seen on the Weston-super-Mare Page 

No 10 of the Weston Worthies - Richard FRY, has been added to the list on the Weston-super-Mare Page.
