Currently Clare is researching the scientific use of gardens by medical practitioners in the long eighteenth-century. Her doctorate, now a monograph published by MUP, explored the history of hospital gardens in England since 1800. From 2007-2012, she was the Research Assistant on the Leverhulme Trust funded Historic Gardens and Landscapes of England Project led by Professor Timothy Mowl at the University of Bristol. In 2005, she won the first Garden History Society Essay Prize and has also published on the design and use of the nineteenth-century asylum landscape, the role of cold baths and plunge pools in the eighteenth-century garden, and the influence of medical practitioners on the development of urban parks.
