My name's Tom and I work as a professional historian, tour guide and actor. Despite qualifications from the universities of Cambridge, Kingston and Oxford, I believe that history should be accessible to everyone. Since 2010, I have worked at a number of heritage locations, from teaching archery at Bodiam Castle through overseeing school workshops at Hever Castle to collections supervision at Hampton Court Palace. In 2021, I decided to set up my company ‘Historiographers Heritage', which then morphed into 'Love History? So Do We!' before settling on 'Live History.' In addition to hosting heritage fundraisers, we offer historic walking tours throughout the north west, such as the Chester Family Tour, the Tudor & Stuart Tour of Chester, the Georgian & Regency Tour of Lancaster and...this self-guided audio tour! When not giving tours, scaring people with ghost stories or shouting commands as a roman soldier, I am a stay-at-home dad...sometimes. My daughter and I love exploring new places and meeting new people. On adventure days, I am her chauffeur and she simply tells me where to go – although she has even accompanied me to work before dressed as Anne Boleyn! Family is central to everything we do and we're keen to create immersive, new experiences that really push the boundaries of the heritage industry. Experience the past at Live History!
