Before joining the Heritage and Townscape team, Rebecca studied English Literature BA (Hons) at the University of Exeter and then worked as an administrator and bid writer for a London based architectural practice. Rebecca’s time in an architectural studio increased her appreciation and understanding of the design and planning process and inspired her to continue her education through enrolment on the Conservation of Historic Buildings MSc at the University of Bath.

Experienced at compiling extended written and visual reports, Rebecca has been helping the team produce a variety of built heritage appraisals and statements on a range of different projects. Rebecca’s approach focuses on the conservation of heritage assets through the promotion of sympathetic and sensitive development.

Aside from historic buildings, Rebecca’s other interests include reading, sketching, and socialising. Rebecca spent 4 years living in Cornwall so takes every opportunity to escape to the seaside and explore the stunning coastal paths of the southwest.
