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 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. See less
