Corrie has published a number of monographs, conservation area appraisals and a book on architectural details for historic contexts in association with Essex County Council.

Corrie’s love and extensive knowledge of buildings, building materials and architecture evolved from an interest in local history, old buildings and practical construction from a very young age.  As a result, she has worked on a wide range of types and periods of buildings, enjoying working with the owners of each to satisfy their specific design needs and to enhance the distinctiveness of their building.
