Research
My History of Parliament work has focused mainly on Cornwall, Devon, Northumberland and Warwickshire. My larger biographies include Sir Edward Conway, Sir John Eliot, Inigo Jones, William Noye and John Selden.

In my wider research I explore seventeenth-century English social and cultural history, particularly aesthetic perceptions, and the transmission of architectural fashions. I am currently working on the spread of London’s stylistic influence, and the building projects of Oliver Cromwell’s circle.

Publications
My principal publications include a ‘Reconstruction of the Layout of the Palace of Westminster c.1640’ in Parliament at Work, 1510-1670, ed. J. Peacey and C.R. Kyle (Boydell, 2002); Architecture and Image-Building in Seventeenth-Century Hertfordshire (OUP, 2004); ‘Prince Charles’s Council as Electoral Agent, 1620-24’, Parliamentary History, 23 (2004); and ‘Cromwellian Style: the Architectural Trappings of the Protectorate Regime’ in The Cromwellian Protectorate, ed. P. Little (Boydell, forthcoming, 2006/7).
