My Current Projects:

Television:

Simon is participating in a four part series for BBC2 on the practice and philosophy of conservation. The series, which is being made by Oxford Film and Television, is following four major conservation projects in which English Heritage is involved. These are the Tudor garden at Kenilworth castle, The restoration of Park Hill flats in Sheffield, the restoration of Kings Cross Station in London and the restoration of Apethorpe Hall in Northamptonshire. It will be screened in 2009.

Books Currently in Press:

Oatlands Palace: This is a major contribution to a multi-author book covering the excavation of Oatlands palace near Weybridge in Surrey between 1963 and the 1980s. It will be published by English Heritage in 2007.

Somerset House: This hardback book will be the London Topographical Society publication for 2008. It will publish all the surviving plans and drawings of old Somerset House with a text explaining the architectural and social history of the palace of England’s Queens. The present building will not be covered.
