Beverley Kerr

Beverley has over 10 years of experience as a Senior Heritage Consultant. She recently joined the Historic Consultancy Team from another conservation architecture practice, working in both the London and York studios. In her previous role, she worked on a variety of projects including Elizabeth Tower, Minley Manor, Durham Castle, Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage and Newcastle Cathedral.

Beverley initially worked in telecommunications but was eventually able to pursue her ambition of studying archaeology at the University of Cambridge. It was whilst studying Medieval Archaeology that she became interested in standing buildings, particularly high-status timber framed buildings and Anglo-Saxon and medieval churches.

After gaining an MA in Building Archaeology, Bev worked for the CBA, one of the six national amenity societies. As Conservation Officer she commented on applications for LBC, focusing on vernacular buildings and industrial heritage. During her time at the CBA, she also gained an Mst in Building History.

Beverley is able to prepare a variety of reports in her role, including Historic Building Reports, CMPs, Archaeological Building Recordings, CAMPs and Archaeological Desk Based Assessments, and is both a full member of the IHBC and of CIfA. Outside of work she is the Winter Conference Secretary for the Vernacular Architecture Group and a Field Test examiner on the Building History Mst at the University of Cambridge.
