"The most interesting man in Canterbury" (Walk participant)
Fordwich, Britain's smallest town
About
Tours in:

A Yorkshireman by birth and an adopted and proud Man of Kent by choice, I have lived and worked in the county for more than 40 years and raised a family here. I built up a general dental practice in Herne Bay and now live in the smallest town in Britain, a lovely place called Fordwich. I have always enjoyed walking and history and discovered a wonderful way to combine the two by leading guided history walks in and around the city of Canterbury. I'm the Chair of Canterbury Ramblers and lead walks for them and also for my own group on Meetup. I give talks to local organisations on a variety of historical subjects including the Bayeux Tapestry which was made in Canterbury. I do yearly talks for the Canterbury Festival and this year gave a presentation on the Shakespeare authorship problem. I have always had an interest in how history can be brought alive by new technology and Voicemap is the ideal platform to do this. Presenting history in the places where it actually happened is the perfect way to bring it to life.
