Extollagy!

Recent work includes:

Valuing places: Good practice in conservation areas (2011)  (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/valuing-places/)
Practical case studies for the better management of conservation areas.

Creativity and Care: New works in English cathedrals (2009)(http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.21424)

Widely publicised, this 50-page illustrated booklet for English Heritage, distributed free of charge to 5,000 contacts nationally. Research, writing, photography/design liaision was by me. Previous comparable works for EH include:

Constructive Conservation (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.19364),

Shared Interest (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.6235), and Changing Places (2004).

All these English Heritage publications champion good practise in various fields. I researched, wrote and undertook photographic/design liaision for all of them.

I’m also regularly approached by EH to write other material, from ghostwriting for the Chairman (such as an article by Sir Neil Cossons in Prospect magazine) to campaigning exhibitions (such as that held in Smithfield at the time of a major planning inquiry; an inquiry won by English Heritage).

Research News, 2013- present  

English Heritage’s fully illustrated twice-yearly bulletin on research projects funded or carried out by the Government’s main advisor on the historic environment. Current and back copies are available online at: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/research-news/

Annual Reports, 2007-8, 2008-9, 2009-10 and 2010-11 (http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/reporting/; http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/AnnualReview2011/index.html; http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/uploads/publications/401.pdf) for the Churches Conservation Trust. Again, I did research, writing, photographic/design liaision for both publications. The Annual Report is the CCT’s main campaigning and corporate statement of the year.

Jewish Heritage Europe (www.jewish–heritage–europe.eu/).

A web-based gazeteer of Jewish synagogues, cemeteries, ghettos, museums etc, funded by a grant from the European Council of Jewish Communities. In its initial phase — it is now managed and funded by new people — I copyedited (both for stylistic consistency and for rewrites) and fact-checked this comprehensive resource.
