“George the Fourth by the Grace of God.”

In my work I love coming across documents like this. The handwriting, the illustrations and the sheer amount of detail are remarkable, especially when you think about how long they’ve survived.

But what really interests me is the story behind the document. Who did it belong to? What was happening in their lives, and what can it tell us about the house, the family and the world they inhabited?

These are the kinds of clues that make researching the history of a house so fascinating. There’s often far more to discover than you might imagine.

My new website is now live!

Come and have a look at what I do, some of the fascinating buildings I’ve researched and see how my expertise could help you!

A wonderful evening this week celebrating the launch of Aileen Reid’s much-anticipated book on E. W. Godwin (1833–1886). This is the seventh volume in the Victorian Society’s Victorian Architects series.

The first book devoted to Godwin in more than 25 years and offers a fresh perspective on this fascinating architect, making a compelling case for the far greater significance of his early Gothic Revival work.

This the Bryggen in Bergen, known for its painted wooden buildings, narrow passages and centuries of stories.

Bryggen was Bergen’s medieval trading centre and home to German merchants of the powerful Hanseatic League from the 14th century. Repeated fires have destroyed much of it over the centuries, but the buildings were rebuilt in the traditional style.

Today, this wonderfully atmospheric waterfront is a very popular UNESCO World Heritage Site.
