Autorenporträt
Gordon Sawyer worked for the oil industry giant ExxonMobil for forty years before retiring in 2003. He and his wife Sue had already developed a passion for family history research. So, when they moved to the historic town of Arundel, perhaps it was no surprise that his interest in history grew. He became a Trustee of the Arundel Museum Society before moving to Strensham in Worcestershire where he decided to research the history of this quiet rural parish. He published his findings in his first book, The Ancient Manor of Strensham in 2020. Gordon and Sue moved to Malvern in 2022, there becoming a neighbour and friend of Lady Fielding.
