House History

Have you ever wondered who lived in your house before you, what sort of people were they, what sort of problems did they have?

The history of any house can be traced, but those in a rural position tend to be more easily identified through the records. In addition to a list of owners (and occupiers, if different) the sort of detail that can be found if the records have survived might include a description of the rooms, a court case over financing a rebuild, or a history of earlier houses on the same site.
