Researching the History of your House – Dr Emma Wells
Have you ever wondered who lived in your house before you? Who built it, why and when? Would you like to reveal the lives of the previous inhabitants? A House History can uncover all this, and more… 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! Even houses built in the modern age are located on land that possesses its own unique history of events. Every home has a story and, in this talk, you will find this out for yourself!
Emma was awarded a PHD in Buildings Archaeology from Durham University and founded her own heritage consultancy. She worked on a variety of high-profile projects including the Leverhulme-funded Lindisfarne Gospels. The Archaeology of the Kiplin Estate and has contributed to various BBC and Channel 4 programmes. She is a lecturer and course convener in the history department at York University.
Non members are very welcome and are charged £3.00 per meeting.
