The brief – or non-existent – history of early medieval salt production in Surrey
In a way, this post follows on from my previous one, since it touches upon issues of research, engagement and finding smart ways of working to further knowledge of the early medieval period. However, I began writing it long before, … Continue reading

SMSW 3 – a statistical perspective on Surrey’s early medieval coin corpus
Three posts in three days was always going to be a bit of an ask, especially when trying to write them around hosting a dinner party, attending a birthday and London’s premature celebration of Swiss National Day, and watching Chris Froome’s fantastic … Continue reading

SMSW 1 – Surrey place-names in Anglo-Saxon charters
Among the many (too many) unfinished pieces of work I have “on the go” at the present time is the write-up of a talk I gave to the Surrey Archaeological Society’s Villages Study Group in a bitingly-cold village hall early … Continue reading

Calculators at the ready – it’s Surrey Medieval Stats Week!
Having never been the greatest at maths when at school (I feel vindicated by my scepticism that GCSE-level algebra has real life applications in adulthood), it came as something of a surprise to discover subsequently that I’m quite partial to … Continue reading
Making progress on several fronts
“each age confronts the debris of its history, material and traditional, as a way of finding a home for itself.” Picture the scene; it’s Saturday morning and I’m on a bus to Waterloo, blissfully unaware that half of London had … Continue reading

Not for the first time… Coins and Surrey in the eighth and ninth centuries
Try as I might, I haven’t been able to put to one side my new-found fascination with the mid-Anglo-Saxon coins of Surrey. One issue in particular continued to play on my mind in the wake of finishing my first attempt … Continue reading

The “Surrey Fens” causeways – finished at long last

New work (of sorts) – medieval agriculture in Puttenham parish
My book/study/report on Puttenham parish and its landscape is nearly complete; however, this has been the case for years now and, having done no work on it in months, unfortunately it doesn’t looks like I will get the opportunity to change … Continue reading

New work – reconsidering weala-tun place names in Surrey
I’ve put the finishing touches to another short essay that’s been lingering on the slate for over two years, adding it to the Work section here. As much as its primary subject matter is self-evidently to do with place-names, I … Continue reading

New work – Woking Hundred land tenure
I’ve added a page with a paper I’m particularly proud of (having read it through over breakfast this morning after months of it languishing on my hard drive) to the Work section. If the above heading is a little cryptic … Continue reading
