Paul Jeffery grew up in Bournemouth, where the proximity of Christchurch, with its castle and priory, stimulated an early love for things medieval and has led to a long-standing enthusiasm for exploring old churches. Music, too, is important to him, and he plays the violin. A graduate of Cambridge University, he works in the computer industry. He is married, with two children, and lives in Winchester.
