Lizzie’s academic research focusses on high and late medieval Scotland, and explores a variety of media related to the pre-Reformation church, including architecture, sculpture, furnishings, tombs, paintings, music, and liturgical performances.

Lizzie is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in Art History at the University of Edinburgh. She is working on a scholarly reappraisal of that most infamous of Scottish churches, Rosslyn Chapel. She studied for her PhD on Scotland’s 49 pre-Reformation collegiate churches in St Andrews. She has published on Scottish late medieval churches and their afterlives in popular culture, and speaks widely about their importance.

She joined our trustees in 2023 and is a member of our Outreach and Events Sub-Committee
