Lizzie started as Research Manager for the Research in Action on Church Heritage project in June 2025. She trained in art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art for both her BA and MA, before completing her PhD at the University of St Andrews where her thesis was titled ‘The Medieval Art and Architecture of Scottish Collegiate Churches’. In 2017 Lizzie joined the University of Edinburgh to take up a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship on that most infamous of Scottish churches, Rosslyn Chapel. While working in academia she joined Scotland’s Churches Trust as a Trustee and became a Scotland Committee Member for the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
