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 book in the county garden series is on Staffordshire and this was published by Redcliffe Press in September 2009. A review of this book was published in the Bristol Review of Books in December 2009 and can be read here.
Professor Mowl has just completed the Somerset volume (to be published in May 2010), with consultant Marion Mako, and is now working in Warwickshire (expected publication date March 2011), with Diane James, and, as usual, finding the most unexpected buildings and undiscovered garden sites.
