I have been fascinated by old buildings, maps and plans for as long as I can remember. As a child I loved history but found secondary school teaching and syllabuses uninteresting — at university I studied Maths with a touch of historical architecture, besides spending far too much time in the computing labs. I now work in computing, currently in Oxford.
I’ve been a fan of Time Team since the second episode (I’ve *still* not seen the first!) but do not normally have time to contribute to the forum — However I have little wish to root around in a muddy trench — I prefer to investigate surviving buildings, or at least remnants thereof, although geophysics and wider landscape stuff look fascinating
Special Interest Areas
Castles, mediaeval and renaissance domestic architecture, the idea (no practice) of computer modelling
