Biography

I first worked on the campus at Keele in 1984, as head of a regional office of the former Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME), which closed in 1998. Now retired, my practical professional career until 2006 was as a non-excavating field archaeologist with the former RCHME and English Heritage. I was founding secretary of the Northamptonshire Archaeological Society; I served as editor of the Journal of the British Archaeological Association and production editor for several volumes in the History of Lincolnshire series. I have been Chairman of the Society for Landscape Studies and President of the Medieval Settlement Research Group: I am a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA) and a Member of the Institute of Field Archaeologists (MIFA). I am one of the editor/authors on the British Academy’s Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture (CASSS) project. I was External Examiner for archaeological MAs at York (2004-7). I am currently on the Board of Staffordshire Studies.

I gave the Earl Lecture in 2007 at Keele. As a field archaeologist and landscape historian I have published on a wide range of topics.
