Hampshire Record Office hosted a house history workshop last night, attended by members of the Micheldever and East Stratton communities, who are beginning a project to research the history of as many of their local buildings as possible. The results of which will be posted online http://goo.gl/xKHVI. The evening included a talk on the range of sources available with tips on how to get started, a tour of the searchroom and an exhibition of original documents relating to the two villages. Those who attended, many of which had not visited the Record Office before, expressed a great deal of enthusiasm and hopefully will return to begin researching their houses in the near future.
