A. A. Aziz

When in his forties, he exchanged a career in IT consultancy and retrained to become a genealogist and architectural historian when he was employed by individuals and estate agents to research the history of ‘Listed Buildings’ ranging in age from the early medieval to the Edwardian era. He was a regular contributor of articles for family history and period property magazines, as well as having his work featured in the UK National Press, radio and television. His book, The Field of Reeds, was born out of his other great passion, that for Egypt and its ancient past.
