I came to live in Shrewsbury over 40 years ago, having previously lived in Leighton Buzzard, where I was born.

In 2019 my passion for the town (as well as for helping its lovely visitors) led me to become a Shrewsbury Ambassador and this, in turn, provided the opportunity to join the fabulous team of Shrewsbury Town Guides.

As well as my interest in the history of this beautiful medieval town, I am also fascinated in the history of our Shrewsbury-born naval hero Admiral John Benbow.
