| Born in Doncaster, Yorkshire, I trained as an historian and architectural historian, developing a fascination for landscape history: a ridge-and-furrow and deserted medieval village man. For many years I taught architectural, social and landscape history for the WEA and various university extra-mural departments. I am now a part time conservation officer working for the built heritage and aim to bring my specialised knowledge to bear in all my writings. I specialise in the lowland landscape of England from Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire southwest to Dorset with a particular interest in the historic landscapes of the Midlands.
