Rachel joined Crick Smith Conservation in 2006 and is now managing projects involving interventive and preventive treatments, such as the salvage and archiving of wallpapers at St. Pancras, the reinstatement of the marouflage surfaces at Beaumont House Chapel in Old Windsor and more recently the treatment of the historic tiles in the on-going project on the Waterhouse interiors, at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall.
Rachel has been working in conservation for over twelve years. During that time she has combined teaching, at the University of Lincoln with on-site conservation. Rachel tutors students on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and undertakes PhD supervision at the Conservation Unit, covering all aspects of conservation and in particular theoretical and practical aspects of inorganic materials.
She is also Programme Leader for the Graduate Diploma in Conservation Studies at the University of Lincoln and in 2005, completed her PhD on ‘The Conservation of Victorian Tiles In Situ’. She continues to build upon this expertise offering advice, care and applied treatment programmes for historic tiles and architectural ceramics.
