Ross is Historic Buildings & Places’ Casework Manager and responsible for our secular casework across England and Wales. He joined the Society in August 2020. He was previously the national planning and policy advisor for the Theatres Trust, an advisory body to the DCMS, working to protect and support the sensitive adaptation of historic and modern theatre and cultural buildings across England, Scotland, and Wales. He has also worked in a freelance capacity and for several local planning authorities. He enjoys the diversity of casework that falls within the HB&P remit, particularly the more humble and often overlooked or unlisted places that need a friend to make sure that all historic buildings are recognised for their contribution to our cultural identity and sense of place.
