The reader is guided through every stage of research, from the first exploration of the archives to the completion of the task. Suggestions are also included on how to present the findings – a house history makes a very attractive gift.The authors describe how to deduce the age of a property (it is very seldom directly recorded when a house was built) and characteristics of research on particular types of property – such as cottages, manor houses, inns, mills, former church properties, and farms – are discussed. In one example, research demonstrated that a farm was likely to have been a Domesday manor – a fascinating discovery achieved using records accessible to any beginner.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 246mmItem Length: 185mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 840gAuthor: Colin Style, O-lan StyleGenre: HistoryTopic: Architecture & Antiques, Language & Reference, Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
