Dr Paul Stamper, the current President of the MSRG, was a schoolboy digger for several seasons at Lyveden DMV in Northamptonshire, going on to read archaeology and history at Southampton. By this time every July was spent excavating at Wharram Percy in Yorkshire, and his involvement with it continues still. The first half of his career proper was spent with the VCH Shropshire, and since 1996 he has been with English Heritage in a variety of roles involving archaeology and historic buildings and landscapes. He is currently working on policy and heritage reform with English Heritage’s Heritage Protection Team. He is also joint editor of Landscapes.

Dawn Hadley is Reader in Historical Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, and is a committee member of the MSRG as well as being the Honorary Secretary of the Society for Medieval Archaeology. Her research interests have long focussed on later Anglo-Saxon England and the impact of the Vikings. She has recently completed excavations at the village of West Halton in Lincolnshire where an early Anglo-Saxon settlement and square-ditched enclosure were encountered in the immediate vicinity of two Bronze-Age barrows; the area was subsequently occupied by the medieval manorial complex, which was abandoned in the fifteenth century. She has recently turned her attentions to the antiquarian activities of Thomas Bateman (1821-1861) in the Derbyshire Peak District and to the medieval hunting lodge of Sheffield where she will be conducting excavations over the next few years.

Pete Herring is a Characterisation Inspector with English Heritage. Previously worked for over twenty years with Cornwall Council, mainly undertaking and managing landscape survey projects. Postgraduate research on medieval Brown Willy and Bodmin Moor has been extended through this experience and through melding it with the generalising tool that is Historic Landscape Characterisation. Research interests include placing medieval rural and urban settlements in their landscape context. Special interests include the effects of landscape experience and perception on less formal and less easily documented (and studied) processes of change. Also transhumance, hamlet field systems and medieval designed landscapes, including deer parks.
