About
The author initially studied History and English at university before launching into a teaching career in Berkshire. Over the last couple of decades the teaching has been less formal: in fields, museums and classrooms all over the southern half of England. The world of history interpreters and re enactors sometimes seems strange to visitors, but there are some extremely knowledgeable people out there who are passionate about their subject and have patiently explained all sorts of things. My thanks to everyone who has ever stood patiently in a muddy field answering questions. The knowledge is theirs; the opinions and mistakes in what is written here are mine.
