House History Starter Pack, All You Need to Become Your Own House Detective ; by Nick Barratt; 50 pp; ISBN # 9781903365427; 2003; Item # TNA19

House history has recently become a boom business, thanks partly to such programs as The House Detectives, The 1900 House, The 1940's House and The Edwardian Country House. Every property, even a relatively modern one, has a unique story just waiting to be discovered. If you don't know where to start, the House Detective Starter Pack is the perfect guide. A booklet packed with expert information accompanies 18 record sheets based on the main house history sources, enabling you to plan your research and record your findings. You will uncover not only the history of the fabric of your house, but also fascinating clues about the people who used to live there.

The contents include:

  • Census record sheets for 1841, 1851-1881, 1891-1901
  • Wills record sheet
  • 1840s tithe appointment survey sheet
  • 1910 Valuation office survey sheet
  • Ordnance Survey summary sheet
  • Estate map sheet
  • Tithe deed sheet
