Graham Fairclough, BA, MIFA, FSA

Graham is an archaeologist who started his career digging Roman forts but has moved on to studying the whole landscape. He is a specialist in archaeological resource management, having applied archaeological disciplines to heritage management for over a quarter-century as part of England’s state conservation agency (since 1984, English Heritage). He is currently in charge of English Heritage’s Monuments Protection Programme, a national review of the archaeological significance of the historic environment designed to facilitate its protection, and of the English Heritage Historic Landscape Characterisation programme. Throughout the 1990s he developed English Heritage’s thinking on integrated environmental management, sustainability in the historic environment, and archaeological conservation in spatial planning.


Projects:

Excavations on medieval and later urban and castle sites, preparation of Archaeology and Planning (PPG16 - spatial planning government guidelines, the English precursor of Valetta), the English Heritage Sustainable Development programme 1993-97, and the national Historic Landscape Characterisation programme.
