Explore the history of homes & buildings in centuries past at the House History Show & summer lecture series, starting Saturdy 15 May 2021
Join us for The House History Show on 15 May 2021, and discover more about the history of homes in times past.
'When was my house built?' is a question many of us wonder.
At the House History Show we will help you master the skills you need to turn back time and reveal the history of a house inside and out. The online event will feature the UK’s leading house historians who will be sharing their expertise to help you learn how to research and tell the story of a home.
Urban mansion or rural cottage, stately home, tenement, or Victorian terrace – the knowledge you’ll gain at The House History Show and summer lecture series will enable you to research a home, its interior, origins, development, locality and the lives of the people who once lived there across centuries.
About the programme
The House History Show will take place online 10am to 4.30pm GMT Saturday 15 May, presented by the leading team of UK House Historians, and sponsored by Chimni.com. The full-day show, on 15 May, will be followed by an online house history lecture and presentation series through May and June.
