Hi folks, any idea how one would go about ageing on a house? :? An hour(yes, a whole hour!) in the local library only came up with it on a map of 1850. Is there a resource of architectural characters, for example, that would enable one to determine when it was built? We have been busy making it habitable since we bought it and since we have (almost!) achieved that it would be nice to do some 'nice' things for a while that don't need a hammer or a trowel. Thanks!

We track paths using maps over the last 500 years.
Try Enclosure, Tithe, Finance Act, Estate, OS, etc mapping a good start is:

Several books exist nowadays for just such a thing.
WATCH out for Chancel Repairs, nasty :!:
Forgot to add: your local County Council Archive will have these docs, if not the The National Archive in Kew will have most types.
