His current research is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council. Mrs Madge O’Keefe is a graduate (M.A. Hons.) in English and History from University College, Galway, and subsequently carried out research into the religious and political repercussions of the Titus Oates Plot of 1678 in south Wales and the Marches of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. Following a period teaching in schools in Cardiff she was appointed to the History Department of the Cardiff College of Education (now UWIC). For several years she has been a part‑time tutor in the Cardiff University Centre for Lifelong Learning (formerly Department of Extra‑mural Studies). As well as teaching medieval art and architecture, she takes students on one‑day field visits and more protracted study tours. Daveth H. Frost is the Principal of Holy Cross College and University Centre, Bury, Lancashire. Formerly Acting Principal of St David’s Catholic College, Cardiff, he is the author of ‘Sacrament an Alter: A Tudor Cornish Patristic Catena’ in Cornish Studies: Eleven (2003) and ‘Glasney’s Parish Clergy and the Tregear Manuscript’ in Cornish Studies: Fifteen (2008). Daveth has contributed patristic references and commentary as part of the online Variorum Edition of John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. He has also, until recently, been a part of the advisory committee assisting in the restoration of Llandeilo Talybont. With special interests in the pre‑Reformation Church in Cornwall, Wales and Brittany, he was recently asked by the newly formed Cornish Corpus Project to jointly edit their first volume, on the homilies of John Tregear and Thomas Stephen, two 16 th century priests. An interest in the Gregorian chant of the Sarum Use has led to several successful incorporations of its riches into contemporary Eucharistic worship. Daveth also works closely with Catholic composer Max Charles Davies, as occasional advisor and librettist, notably on the work in progress ‘Passio Christi’. Timothy Edward Jones graduated in 1990 with a BA in Archaeology from University of Wales, Cardiff, and spent several years working as a freelance archaeologist, mainly as a landscape surveyor, in the UK, Africa, Europe and the Middle east before taking an MA in Archaeological Science at Bradford. After graduating he continued as an archaeologist until 2000 when due to disabilities he went back to college and obtained a BSc in Geological Oceanography from the University of Wales, Bangor, and an MA in Historic Landscapes from University of Wales, Newport. Currently he is studying for a PhD on the dating of the boundaries within the Book of Llandaff at Newport. Dr John Littlewood is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Architectural Studies at the Cardiff School of Art and Design, University of Wales Institute Cardiff. He is a graduate of the University of Glamorgan: BSc (Hons) with 1st in Building Surveying in 1996, and PhD (ʹA study of the design and thermal performance of two‑storey earth sheltered houses suitable for the UK climateʹ) in 2001. One of his research areas evolved out of his interest in digital drawing, namely investigating the use of building information modelling for urban and rural regeneration and conserving historical buildings. In 2003/04, he worked on modelling and visualising grade II* listed barns in Pembrokeshire using BIM, which he drew to the attention of St Fagans: National History Museum in 2004. Later, whilst at the Faculty of the Built Environment in the University of the West of England, he became involved with the VEPS project with John Counsell, where St Teiloʹs chapel was one of the case studies. In 2008, he has worked on some of the modelling of the student accommodation for Atlantic College, St Donats. He is currently co‑investigator on the SURegen project, funded by the EPSRC. John Counsell is an Architect, now a Principal Lecturer and head of the Department of Architectural Studies in the Cardiff School of Art and Design at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. In his early career he undertook private practice on listed and heritage buildings in the south‑west of England, and worked as a conservation officer for Somerset County Council. A later fascination with the potential of 3D computer modelling led to a mid‑career MSc at Strathclyde University in 1984/5. Following this specialism he worked in major practices in London, including on the JP Morgan Bank Headquarters at BDP. In 1989 he set up an architectural partnership in Wells, Somerset, focusing on rural and heritage buildings, combined with a building information modelling consultancy which included Westbury Homes among its clients. In 1995 he moved more completely into teaching and research at UWE, Bristol. While there, he modelled the Tower of London for the Tower Environs scheme led by Historic Royal Palaces. He then devised and led the Valhalla EC‑ funded project linking the historic gardens of Hatfield and Villandry via webcams and navigable web‑based 3D information models. He co‑wrote the e‑Planning and e‑Democracy‑ focused VEPs Interreg project with the Environment Agency, and led the UWE team that worked on this from 2004 to 2008. During this project one recent case study application was the laser scan‑based digital reconstruction of St Teiloʹs church. One outcome is a simple navigable web‑based 3D model of the church on its original site. Helen Watt is currently a Research Fellow in the Department of History, University of York, working at The National Archives in London, on ʹThe Records of Central Government Taxation in England and Wales: Clerical Taxes 1173‑1664ʹ project.
