Their telling of "The Battle of Maldon", commissioned by Maldon Town, led to projects based on the local history of Essex. "The Islands of Essex" and "Tales Across the Come" projects involved research at the sites of the history and tales and storytelling performances based on their discoveries. These took the form of storywalks, adult tellings and sessions for children.
Their experience as teachers enables them to offer exciting work for schools, such as the "Haunting Place" ghost stories produced for Mersea School and "The Gathering" inspired by North American totems at Langenhoe School.
