About Us

In 2004, Paul Sambrook and Jenny Hall established the Trysor partnership. We wanted to develop our personal interests and professional skills to help communities and businesses benefit from heritage.

Between us, we have over 30 years experience in archaeology, history and heritage. We are based in south west Wales, one of us living in Pembrokeshire and the other in Neath Port Talbot. This is the region we know best, but our skills can be applied to any area in Wales, and beyond.

When asked to define what we do we style ourselves as heritage specialists rather than archaeological or historical consultants. Our services are affordable and are focussed on the client and the product, rather than the raw material.

Trysor has a developing portfolio. We have carried out work for the regional archaeological Trust, local authorities, community groups and the tourism sector.

We try to build three key principles into any piece of work we undertake: accessibility, consultation and sustainability.

We use clues in the landscape and the archives to piece together a story of the past, and then use this story for the benefit of our clients.
