He continues to research and publish on this topic and is currently writing a book on the consumer revolution with Dr Jo Sear, a fellow lecturer at the Institute. He is also a member of the editorial team producing the forthcoming volume on the Huntingdonshire Hearth Tax for the Centre for Hearth Tax Research.
