About the Author

A couple of years ago I moved to an eighteenth century former Inn in Devon. I am currently completing a history of the port of Brixham for our many visitors (and freely admit how much I have learned from the experience of writing for Culture Smart) . I am also on the Executive committee of Brixham s award-winning museum and have been helping the BBC with a documentary about William III who landed at Brixham in 1688.
