About Nick

Nick is training to become an architect. As a result, he recognises the importance of the built heritage of our city. He believes that, like the buildings of John Wood, modern development should be well planned and of the highest quality.

His architectural training has also given Nicholas a detailed understanding of environmental issues. He believes that climate change is the most important threat to our world, but one which we can all tackle in our own lives. He wants the Council to lead by example and encourage businesses and residents to greater sustainability.

For the past five years, Nicholas has been a volunteer steward with the National Trust, specialising in Jacobean history and architecture.

He has also helped as a volunteer mentor at Culverhey School. In his spare time, Nicholas is a classical pianist and has given a recital in the Holburne Museum.

Sham Castle Scrub Clearance:

Ralph Allen built Sham Castle as a folly in 1762 to be visible from the city. The views from the city and from the National trust Skyline walk have since been obscured by overgrown vegetation. We are leading a community project of volunteers from the university and city to clear the scrub, with a grant from the Cotswold Board and help from the National Trust. A new habitat shall be created with BTCV afterwards.
