Why 'Nazeman' and 'Nazewoman', over the years many people have been told if they have found fossils and want them identified  to go and see the man and more recently the woman at the Naze, eventually People started saying
To us are you the Nazeman and Nazewoman and it stuck, so when we wanted to start out on our own and not as part of the N. P. S. we thought yes lets call it after what everybody calls us  so that's why its called the Nazeman education Trust.

Who are the Nazeman and Nazewoman. The Nazeman  is 52 year old Mike Todd a local Author and Amateur Naturalist and Palaeontologist. I was born and brought up at the Naze end of Walton and was very lucky to have encountered at an early age 2 people who would have a profound influence on my life, the first of these was the Late John Weston , probably one of the best  all round Naturalists Essex  has ever produced, he was to give me my love of Wildlife and Wild places. The other was the Late Mark Linford my school teacher at the age of 9  who was to instil in me my love of fossils and prehistory.

Sue Cranstone originally comes from Edmonton north London and moved to Walton at the age of 21 after
spending many Family holidays here and falling in love with the Naze. Due to ill health, Depression and Scoliosis she has had to give up work, but being an extremely talented Artist and Illustrator has taken up the challenge  of illustrating the N. E. T. info packs and Books. On the 3rd May 2007 Sue and I went to the University Hospital Southend, where she was diagnosed with CFS/ME.

We have been together five years and were running the Naze Caravan together for three years before we parted company with the N. P. S. We currently live at the Naze end of Walton with our two cats Garfield and Arlene.

We both strongly believe the best way forward at the Naze is by educating the visitors, that is showing everybody what is here and how it lives or lived, not in some high tech visitor centre but in something much more low tech and hands on, we desperately need a small museum at the Naze with an Education room for visiting schools  and an
information centre, this would not mean lots of extra visitors, just the same amount but they would have a
desperately needed purpose built building.
