Do you own or live in an historic building – full of character with hints of past lives? Or have you recently renovated your home or bought an amazing holiday-house in a picturesque village? How do I trace the history of my home?

Are you the latest proud owner of a long tradition of people who have enjoyed the delights of your beautiful property?

Who built it and why? What are their names? Their occupations? How did they live their lives? What is your home’s historical heritage?

Converted mill in Littlebury, Essex

The past is all around us and traces of it could be within your special home. From Medieval and Tudor hall-houses to Georgian and Victorian town houses, schools, mills and red-brick cottages. From Edwardian villas to modern-day country mansions and chocolate-box country pubs.

All have their secrets – often with their own enigmatic past. Your ownership is the latest in the long history of your remarkable building.

I can help you unlock its mysteries and secrets with a professionally researched account of your home’s past.
