Researching The History Of A Country House A Guide to Sources &
Their Use Date of publication: 2010 The origins of this book
date from the early 1990s when the author began to research the
history of his own country house in the Kent Downs at Trimworth,
near Canterbury. These early investigations led him to see how
Trimworth could be used as a case study in a voyage of discovery
which others could also enjoy. The book will be most relevant to
the owners of country houses, providing a methodology for the
less experienced to trace an exciting pathway of inquiry. It is
based on an exploration of a wide range of maps and documentary
sources available from local, regional and national archive
centres. This fully illustrated guide encourages a systematic
process of research into the fascinating and topical subject of
house history and makes frequent reference to online sources.
