My research is in two broad areas: the agrarian history of England from the middle ages to the twentieth century, and the economy and society of early modern England. In both areas I make extensive use of probate documents, especially probate inventories. I’m happy to supervise research students in any area of agrarian history, and in the economic and social history of England from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
