We are giving a talk next week portal.sog.org.uk/Event/view/2... #SOG #HouseHistory

Seeing a house in its surroundings gives clues to its history. Weaver’s cottage at Kilbarchan’s marriage lintel dates from 1723 – but dates can be misleading. #HouseHistory #Location #LocalHistory

A house comes alive with the stories of people who lived there; through hatching, matching and dispatching. This poignant tombstone from Warnford is a reminder of a life once lived. #HouseHistory #Genealogy

There is nothing quite like examining original documents in an archive. During a recent visit we looked at a household inventory dating from 1661. Reading an inventory can feel as though you are walking from room to room through the house. #HouseHistory #Documents #familyHistory

Our ancestors used horn jugs and plain metal mugs – nothing fancy. From these houses we can learn a different rhythm of life. #ancestors #househistory

Local, family and house history is everywhere, you just need to look for it! This pub sign at Bere Regis in Dorset uses heraldry to show how the Plunkett, Ernle, Erle, and Drax families were connected through marriage.

In the quiet Dorset hamlet of Winterborne Tomson stands St Andrew's Church—one of only four single-celled Norman churches in England with an apse at the east end. When you step inside you discover 18th-century oak fittings including box pews and pulpit with a unique wagon ceiling.

We took part in episode 3 which is about Hampshire.

Since starting the business, our months have been filled with archive visits and trips to one of the houses we are researching. We’re feeling a bit like this house ourselves — full of stories, layers, and a few surprises along the way!
