Tim Mowl published his first article on Marford, a village of Gothick cottages in Flintshire, in Country Life in 1979. His first book - Trumpet at a Distant Gate: The Lodge as Prelude to the Country House - was published by Waterstones in 1985. Since then he has continued to produce a range of studies of architectural history, revisionist biographies, and surveys of garden and landscape history. His most recent biography, published by Jonathan Cape in May 2006, is a lively and controversial analysis of the life of the eighteenth-century artist, architect and landscape gardener, William Kent. The latest books in the county garden series are Somerset (2010) and Warwickshire (2011); both published by Redcliffe Press. A review of Staffordshire was printed in the Bristol Review of Books in December 2009 and can be read here.
Professor Mowl is now working in Herefordshire (expected publication date Spring 2012) with Dr Jane Bradney and Cambridgeshire with Dr Laura Mayer. He is, as usual, finding the most unexpected buildings and undiscovered garden sites. These new discoveries will be published on the project blog which can be accessed at http://historicgardensandlandscapes.wordpress.com
