History, Art, Meaning and Memory.

Welcome. Please step into my world: a love of history and literature. Here you will find details of current and recent work. This includes: a contemporary fiction novel I am writing, history talks I give across Wiltshire, a 2025 published book about churches, local history articles about religious art, work produced for a post retirement Masters in Medieval Studies 2019-23, and articles about my Scottish, Welsh & Irish family history.

This is the way, please step inside (words reminiscent of JG Ballard's & Joy Division's Atrocity Exhibition) - Church of St James the Great, Dauntsey, Wiltshire.
