Staff Profiles

I am a Research Associate on the Where Power Lies project. Previously I have been a post-doctoral researcher on Exeter University's Exeter: A Place in Time project as well a freelance illustrator working with Exeter Cathedral's archaeologist.

My PhD investigated the landscapes and histories of medieval and post-medieval rabbit warrens in south-west England and was funded by the universities of Exeter and Bristol.

My research interests cover the general themes of landscape archaeology of the medieval and post-medieval periods, particularly in relation to elite and rural landscapes.
