Architectural Archaeology
Mark has been adding value for heritage sector clients for over twenty years. Before that he worked for the Museum of London Archaeology Service in what is now internationally recognised as the most rigorous forcing ground of archaeology.
His 10,000 hours of training in historic sites, stately homes, museums, castles, visitor attractions, publishers and charities reflects a rare combination of talents and experience. This reflects an unusual ability to integrate the fine detail of research into an overall narrative. He makes it clear why detail matters. He also provides illustrations for books, displays and heritage trails.
