Become a house history detective and learn the skills to unlock the past about your house with a special workshop at the County Record Office.

With the expert help of Christine Hodgetts, a local and house historian, you can learn the skills to age houses. Starting with the house itself as evidence, Christine will show you how to date a house by visual clues both inside and outside.

Then using archival evidence such as original photographs, sales particulars and maps you can delve deeper into the history of your home.

With lots of information online this workshop will include practical tips on how to search the internet effectively.

The workshop is on Saturday 15 September from 9.15am to 12.15am at Warwickshire County Record Office, Off Cape Road, Warwick CV34 4JS. Tickets are £12.00 and can be booked in advance by calling 01926 738959.
