A big thank you goes out to Lorna and Chris from iCAN for their invaluable assistance and kindness in posting my call out for public engagement on my my MA dissertation research.

Also grateful to my friend and fellow colleague, photographer Phillip Devereux for some of the photos he has contributed to my dissertation (a few featured in this ad) and also upcoming book on the Knights Templar "The Way of the Rose", the first of a trilogy on the Knights Templar to be released around or after Xmas (delayed by my MA, apologies!).
