ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jeremy has been running his own small Monmouthshire based History & Heritage business – “Tracks Through Time” – since 2015.  He specialises in offering History Talks, Heritage Walks and Historical Re-enactments combined with Factual Storytelling, he focuses specifically on our own local history here in South Wales and its historical borders.

In the last three years Jeremy has delivered his Talks to a range of local history societies and related heritage organisations (as well as private individuals, tourist groups and overseas visitors), including; Raglan District History Society, Llanfoist History Society, Llangynidr History Society, Llandenny WI, Crickhowell District History Society, Shirenewton Local History Society, Usk Civic Society, Usk Town Council, Hereford Museums Services & CADW Welsh Historic Monuments.

Jeremy’s original speciality was Roman Archaeology relating to Roman Britain, and Wales in particular, but year by year his repertoire has expanded to include a wide range of different topics, from all eras of our past – be it Celtic, Roman, Saxon, Norman, Medieval, Tudor, Stuart, Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian.

Jeremy aims to offer a unique insight into a specific element of a bygone age, which helped shape the past.  Further details and examples of his work can be viewed on his Website www.tracksthroughtime.co.uk
