Historic buildings archaeologist, completely obsessed with buildings old and new, strange addiction to photographing hinges. Big fan of Pilchard our ex-MOD land rover & truly ruled by our rescue cat Thomas. Did I mention I love historic buildings..?

Two day buildings bonanza in Nantwich with Jeremy Lake. What a fabulous place for late 16th century timber framed buildings. Can't wait to go back

53 & 55 Micklegate, York were built as a single house in the 1750s, possibly designed by John Carr of York. Separate from around 1813 number 53 has an elaborate lamp bracket which I never noticed until l drew it.
