He is sometimes encountered re-enacting the man himself on Hay Hill and in other corners of Norwich and maintains these two sites - a blog and a Facebook page dedicated to Sir Thomas and well worth reading. He has also written some essays over the years and is continually updating his knowledge and thoughts about Browne and his work.

Kevin Faulkner has been an enthusiast and Browne scholar for many years and has written a number of essays which are published in different places. Here are some links to essays.

Krzysztof Fijalkowski's monograph on The Garden of Cyrus is an accessible, short, yet rewarding read.
