He has been directly employed in researching and managing England’s historic environment for almost 40 years, firstly with the Victoria County History, and for 20 years with English Heritage/Historic England. As a Senior Adviser in the Designation Department, he was responsible for overseeing the writing and, later, revision of the 44 designation selection guides covering listing, scheduling, the two registers (battlefields and designed landscapes), and ships and boats.
