Having arrived at History of Parliament in 2006, I worked on the House of Commons 1640-1660; from January 2018 until my retirement in July 2022 I was assistant editor. A geographical focus on south central England, entailed working on, among others, Nathaniel Fiennes and John Selden, memorialists Edmund Ludlowe and Bulstrode Whitelocke, Speaker William Lenthall, and Philip Herbert, 4th earl of Pembroke, and his circle. Particular interests included religious issues in Parliament and the European travel and connections of MPs.
