Research Interests

Her research interests lie in the application of mathematical and business techniques to the built environment. This has led to several joint articles and a particular interest into the development of Victorian cities. During her travels she has researched into the development and survival of Victorian towns throughout Canada and Australia.

She is currently writing a book entitled Hyde Abbey: From Dissolution to Victorian Suburb.

This traces the landownership and urban development of the former Hyde Abbey’s lands in the north suburb of Winchester
