Leading Conservative Linda Folwell, who has died aged 71 WESTMINSTER and North Yorkshire politicians have paid tribute to leading Conservative Party figure and racehorse owner Linda Folwell, who has died just days before her 72nd birthday. Friends of Ms Folwell said she had continued working in her role as chairman of Conservative Thirsk and Malton Constituency Association up until a few weeks ago, having been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Among those taken aback by her death has been classic-winning trainer Mick Easterby, who had Ms Folwell’s horses at his Sheriff Hutton yard. Mr Easterby said would remember his friend as someone who took delight in treating her horses.
