Mark is working on a project that uses witness statements from court records to reconstruct everyday life in seventeenth-century Somerset villages from the testimony of the ordinary women and men who actually lived in them.
Mark is a first generation academic from a working class background. He holds the position of Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Bristol and is a social historian with a particular interest in the everyday lives of ordinary men and women in England, during the period 1500 – 1700.
