Ever wondered who lived in your house before you? Who built it, when and why? Would you like to reveal the lives of the previous inhabitants?
Join Dr Emma J. Wells for a two-hour workshop on how to get started… You may think this information only pertains to houses of a particular age or size, but all houses from as little as a year to 500 years old, and of the smallest disposition may be investigated! The workshop will cover architectural and social history skills to investigate the design of houses, and the lives of those who lived within their walls, both ‘upstairs’ and ‘downstairs’ as well as the development of the house over time. Every home has a story and, in this workshop, you will find this out for yourself!
Emma will also be discussing her new book Pilgrim Routes at the festival on 16 October
