I joined Manchester in September 2021, having previously taught at the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary, University of London. I read History as an undergraduate at the University of Lancaster before studying Law at the University of Edinburgh and Magdalene College, Cambridge.

I am a private lawyer with interests in legal history, equity, trusts and land. I am primarily interested in the doctrinal development of English property law up to the mid-sixteenth century, and in the legal history of the North of England. I am currently working on projects on the historical development of trusts, the legal history of the Counties Palatine of Chester, Durham and Lancaster, and Northern judges in the medieval period. 

At Manchester, I am LLB Law with Joint Honours Programme Director, and am the elected representative on the Law Leadership Team.
