From studying Latin, Greek and Ancient History at school, he then went on to read Archaeology and Anthropology at University. He gained a range of excavation experience during these studies and worked at Canterbury Museum for a period after graduating. Latterly his interests have turned to the historical landscape. However, for most of his working life, the past has been a spare-time occupation and his career has been in accountancy, much of it in the forensic sphere where making sense of imperfect sets of data was the main part of the job. Rob's interest inLyminge stems from having lived in the village for 28 years, walking the local paths and getting to know the area well on the ground.
