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. The latest book in his series of the Historic Gardens of England is a study of Worcestershire, and his latest 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. Tim has just completed his next garden series book on Oxfordshire, which was launched at Corpus Christi College, Oxford in May 2007. He has now begun to research the next two counties in the series: Northamptonshire - county of Catholic Elizabethan garden fanciers - and Cheshire, Lord Leverhulme's county of bling and Wags.
