Dr Kelly is a former Senior Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. She has studied and taught in Cambridge and Oxford, and was a visiting fellow at All Soul's College in 2008. Her career has been dedicated to working on the British Academy/Royal Historical Society Anglo-Saxon Charters Project, of which she was Co-ordinating Editor 2001-12.

Kelly proposes a cautious but plausible reconstruction of Chertsey's early history, bearing in mind the minster's frontier position between the Mercian and West Saxon polities as well as the shifting political situation of the eighth and ninth centuries. The editor must therefore be congratulated for making available to scholars and students a particularly difficult section of the corpus of Anglo-Saxon charters.
