Why Wychwood?
Projects that interact with the past have a responsibility to do so with integrity and care. Historical consultants conduct the research that you or your company do not have the time or expertise to undertake.
Consumers and audiences are interested in the accuracy and plausibility of historical information. People want to have confidence in what they read and watch. Bringing a strong historical foundation to your project can convey credibility and contributes to the longevity of your work.
At Wychwood, we help our clients engage with the many nuances of history. Our combined expertise focuses on medieval and early-modern Western Europe. Our specialisms include social and cultural history; politics, nobility, and royalty; religion and the church; and intellectual history.
Our extended network of consultants includes experts on military history, gender history, labour history, histories of race, and the maritime world. We encourage you to reach out to see if we can pair you with an expert.
