She has researched many of the Trust's buildings, participating in Landmark's rescue of some of Britain's finest buildings at risk.

More recently, he has presented all three series of the BBC television series Restoration in which viewers decide on which listed building in immediate need of remedial works is to win a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
