Joseph Rogers is the author of 'Tithe Barns' and 'Railway Enthusiasm in Twenty-first-century Britain' and conducts talks primarily on the subject of Tithe Barns, but also railways and the railway hobby.
His research on 'Tithe Barns' saw him travel to 100+ historic barns across the UK, from East Lothian to Cornwall, Gwynedd to Kent and everywhere in between. He was inspired to learn more about the subject by the many examples found in Somerset.
His railway experience comes from over a decade working within the railway hobby, including for the West Somerset Railway and in the modelling and video games spaces.
Note: Currently Wiltshire based, but will be Somerset based from November 2026 - April 2027. More than happy to speak anywhere in the UK, but talk fees may vary based on travel cost.
