Early life

Madeleine "Gurtie" Gurdon was born in 1962 to a British Army officer, and his wife, who later retired as a Brigadier. Gurtie was educated at a convent,[2] and was an equestrian competitor for nearly a decade, riding in three-day events in Princess Anne's set.[2] To supplement her riding career, Gurdon designed an exclusive country wear company, featuring leather-and-suede clothing,[2] called The Done Thing, after her favourite dun horse. Gurdon met Lloyd Webber through his Watership Down neighbours, who loved horses. [3]

Personal life

Gurdon married Lloyd Webber at his Hampshire home on 9 February 1991. They have three children together; Alastair (born 1992), William (born 1993) and Isabella (born 1996). The family currently resides in London[4] and Hampshire.[5]

gollark: Oh yeah, copy in a known-good reactor constantly.
gollark: Powered by a single electrolytic separator!
gollark: With enough, I don't know, formation planes and an internal ME network, or turtles or something, self-repairing repeatedly-meltdowning reactors could become the power source of the future.
