Book Description
This fully revised and expanded guide to house history, written by TV historian Nick Barratt is ideal for anyone interested in how buildings, streets and towns have changed - or even stayed the same. It explores the many kinds of information available to the amateur house detective, and offers expert guidance for navigating the information sources and records. The books focuses on sources ranging from the three great land surveys of Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to tax and manorial documents for properties dating back to the medieval period. This new edition includes the latest information on sources and documents, property profiles, new colour photgraphs, more information on local sources nationwide and a new section on architectural style and regional variations.
