Discovering Your Old House 

Every house has a story to tell. In this completely new, enlarged and updated edition of a popular title, David Iredale and John Barrett describe how, step by step, the history of your old (or not so old) house may be discovered.

The life story of an old house is told by the stones, bricks, timber, tiles and thatch that make up its walls, floors and roof. Its history is also discovered in manuscripts and printed books, in archives and public libraries. These crucial sources are described and explained with the help of apt quotations from old documents and reproductions of maps, plans and pictures.

Format: 76 pages; 153 black & white illustrations; softback.
