Past roles include curator at Sir John Soane’s Museum, director of SAVE Britain’s Heritage and conservation director at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich where he led the multi-award-winning Painted Hall conservation project. Will has lectured widely on 18th- and 19th-century art and architecture and is a former columnist of Country Life magazine. As Chairman of the Sheerness Dockyard Trust he oversaw the rescue and repair of Sheerness Dockyard Church, a project which has received 13 major awards including the RICS UK Project of the Year.
