The expert is an authority on freshwater ecology and chairman of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society.
Dr Hill-Cottingham contributed to the book dedicated to the expanse of Somerset that includes in the landscape of Levels and Moors and settlements such as Glastonbury, Burrowbridge and Westonzoyland.
