No two buildings are the same - they are as individual as you and I - and often have fascinating stories to tell. Researching the history of your house can reveal your building’s unique past, including information on when it was built, by whom, and who owned the land beforehand. In many instances research will uncover the original architectural drawings, together with a number of old pictures or illustrations throughout the years. Houses do not just have an architectural history. They also have a social history, and research can reveal who lived in your property and when, what they did for a living, and can sometimes reveal very personal stories about the occupants and how they lived their lives. Carrying out a full house history extends beyond what is available freely on-line, and requires an expert with local knowledge, specialist research skills in the area, and access to appropriate documentation.
