Let’s talk history!
Whether a university course, an adult ed talk, an architectural walking tour or site visit, speaking and teaching events are based in conversations, shared stories and curious questions.
Do you organise talks, walks or other events on historical themes? Are you looking for a new speaker, guide or tutor? Please take a look at this leaflet to find out what I can offer in 2027 and then pop over to the contact page to get in touch. Hopefully we’ll be working together soon.
