Between 1971 & 1984 was a member of the Bourne Society; Also Surrey Arch Soc; I grew interested in Industrial Archaeology, in particular, Brewing industry in Surrey - Have written a book on brewing using Reigate as a case study.I am a member of the Brewery History Society, & served on the Committee until c1998, I was also Soc. Surrey Recorder. I remarried in 1987 & moved to Horsham. I am a life-member of the Sussex Arch. Soc., and am also a member of The Horsham District Archaeology Group. I am now retired, and my creaking old bones prevent me from spending long hours crouched down in a trench. However, I now feel I have found my niche in HDAS. Current projects include the Dedisham Estate and RB Settlement site at Alfoldean, Slinfold.
