Early life and education

Toni Mount was born in 1953 and was educated at Gravesend Grammar School for Girls (now Mayfield Grammar School).

Career, Further and Higher Education

Mount completed her first degree from the Open University obtaining a BA with First-class honours.

She then obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education and Training (PGCE) from University of Greenwich. In 1999 she started teaching history to adults for the Workers' Educational Association[3] in West Wickham Kent, going on to run classes in Petts Wood, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Rochester, ultimately running classes independently in Rochester and Gravesend[4]. Mount also gives talks to groups and societies on a variety of subjects, the most popular being based on her 'Medieval Housewives' book[5] She researched the Great Fire of 1212.[6][7]

Her Master's degree (M.A. by research) from the University of Kent looks at a digitalised a medieval manuscript from The Wellcome Library in London[8].
