Wow! That must have been fascinating. (I'm sure it must get a loo now.) It's an amazing thing about buildings in the UK - they're built to last and can remain and witness so many lives. In NZ we don't have many historic buildings, especially homes. And thanks to the earthquakes even fewer here in Christchurch! But we do have a lot of property-related information and records that are public and can be accessed online. With these it's possible to see how many times (and when and for how much) a property has been sold, and sometimes if work has been done to the property (if this required a permit/consent). However I've never actually tried it for genealogy research and I'm not sure how far back the records go. Do you know if there's anything similar in the UK? It might be another interesting insight into the history of a place. And one that can be accessed from home during lockdown! I've spent the afternoon delving into the Tithe Map and Apportionment, as you suggested. Thank you for pointing me to this great resource! ![]() ![]() |
