Martin has cultivated a great understanding of the restoration of historic walls from his many years repairing ancient field walls in the Derbyshire countryside.
Upon his relocation to Nashville, he uncovered a rich tradition of dry stack walls, many in need of repair. Recognizing the demand for his skills, Martin carved out a niche in the Middle Tennessee region. Frequently, his repair projects involve complete rebuilds, a necessity stemming from the loss of knowledge in how to maintain these walls over the generations.
The essence of preservation is deeply ingrained in this country, and Martin embraces the significance that Americans place on their history. Martin has immersed himself in the preservation of old dry-stone walls in Tennessee, finding a meaningful connection to his academic background in American History. Before obtaining his visa, Martin had the fortune of meeting Dan Brown, the coordinator of the Tennessee Historical Commission. This encounter fueled Martin's desire to contribute to the long-term repair of these historical structures. His efforts have garnered gratitude from the people of Tennessee, as he actively restores a piece of their history.
