TWITTER’S HOUSE HISTORY HOUR

Founded in lockdown in May 2020, the Twitter account is run by me and leadingin tweets to discuss, share and pose questions about house history. Each week takes a different theme such as looking at a specific set of records or focusing on a historic house. Our subjects have included Audrey Collins (of The National Archives) on researching houses in newspaper archives and archaeologist James Wright on timber-framed buildings. We also have a regular session on how to get started. You can catch up on the highlights of each week’s tweets in our Moments: . Please give us a follow and join in the discussion!
