I’ve always loved history so I suppose it was inevitable I should study British Archaeology and History at university. After living overseas for some years I returned to England and landed on my feet coming to Shropshire. I trained as a Blue Badge guide for the Heart of England area and I know I have the perfect job – sharing my love of Britain and its history with visitors and local people alike.

Shrewsbury is the most delightful town to explore. Other than the tours listed above I particularly enjoy showing visitors around the town’s churches, telling stories about the famous people linked to the town and generally exploring its history from Saxon times to the present day.

I frequently give talks to local groups and this had led me to write a number of books on the county’s history.
