I’ve always been interested in history and as I learnt about Poole’s past, I became fascinated with what took place in this part of the country during the English Civil Wars in the 17th Century. No major battles happened here, but what adventure and intrigue there was. It seemed to me that there were some really good stories to share and to create about that time.

I have previously published Urban Trees: A Practical Management Guide drawing on my experience of being a tree officer in Dorset. I worked with trees, as a tree surgeon, forester, tree officer, lecturer and tree expert for over 45 years.
