Summary:

Records for many English homes and structures go back to the 11th century. Interest in the many records available has increased greatly since the inception of the BBC House Detectives TV series. This guide covers the great land surveys of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Land Registry office, building plans, local directories, electoral lists and rate books. For American readers this is an interesting guide to ancestral homes and British local history.
