About us
Having visited and surveyed hundreds of historic inns across the British Isles, Jamaica, the United States and Canada, over the last three years, for a major Leverhulme Trust-funded research project, the University of Plymouth's Professor Dan Maudlin presents an illustrated insight to the inns he studied in America. He examines the British Atlantic world in this location through the building, occupation, and varied uses of these vital spaces for early modern travellers.As an architectural historian, Prof Maudlin is interested in the relationship between design and the spaces and places of the everyday: his current research also contributes to the history of the early modern British Atlantic world.
