William Bainbridge is a historical geographer interested in the history of landscape and cultural heritage.

He has been postdoctoral fellow at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art in London and is now at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Advanced Studies in the Humanities. He consults on heritage matters internationally.
