’HOW OLD IS IT?' If you own a period property, this is one of the most frequently asked questions.
In most cases, The Historical Research Agency can provide documentary evidence to date buildings more accurately. This is especially useful if you are planning to renovate or extend an old building. Discovering previous owners can not only shed light on why the building was altered at a certain date but may put a name to the resident ghost! Ordnance Survey and other printed maps are used, together with tithe documents, enclosure awards, quarter sessions, estate and parish surveys, deeds, wills and census returns. These are just a handful of records that may help create a story of the building’s development.
