A short video by me, from a past #AATP! Back in the days before AI slop, with its associated environmental and societal abuses, began to infest everything including this otherwise excellent event. Spending my #OnePlaceWednesday engaged in #OnePlaceStudy research that involves little or no GenAI.

Agreed, and it's a good point to reinforce that there can be a study within a study. It can be stand-alone or part of the bigger family history aspect. #OnePlaceWednesday

As we are on Day 7 of #31DaysOfGraves, and as #AATP26 today focuses on Getting Started in #OnePlaceStudies and place-based #FamilyHistory, what better time to remind you that a burial ground can be a #OnePlaceStudy in itself – or the micro-focus that helps get a wider OPS started! #OnePlaceWednesday

What did 4d a week buy in Victorian Rillington? Help during sickness, medical care and funeral support—plus a feast day of bands, processions and regalia.

My latest blog explores Rillington’s friendly societies. #OnePlaceWednesday

A #HouseHistory is the last newly-registered #OnePlaceStudy we feature today: Durfee House, Churchover One-Place Study in Nova Scotia. Anne Wendel spent many happy childhood summers here but it was demolished around 1999; now Anne is recreating the house and compiling its history. #OnePlaceWednesday

Durfee House, Churchover One-Place Study.
Image: An old monochrome photo with a blue-grey tint, looking up at a large, three-storey house. To the left of the main house is an outbuilding, outside the open door of which stands a man and a woman. There are a couple of trees and shrubs, some stone walls, and the sloping ground below the buildings looks to be covered tall grass and other vegetation.

Well this turned out to be a lovely #OnePlaceWednesday kind of thread.

This month, Heather Etteridge has concluded the story of Homelea Farm in her #OnePlaceStudy of Great Ellingham, in The Owners & Occupiers of Homelea Farm, Part III and Part IV. In addition, there is also Basil Jude’s “Crime”: Selling Milk at Tuppence a Pint. Read all about it on #OnePlaceWednesday!

Members of the #Woodchurch Ancestry Group have been researching the history of their #Kent village and the people who lived there since 2001. Now they have registered Woodchurch One-Place Study with us! Find out more about the Group and their #OnePlaceStudy on #OnePlaceWednesday.

Woodchurch One-Place Study.
Image: An old, sepia-toned postcard photo of a scene in Woodchurch village. One the left we see the front of what looks to be a public house, a three-bay, two-storey house with a single-storey extension (or an adjoined residence); the walls appear to be lime-washed and there is a sign on the wall above the front door. In the yard outside stands a horse with a four-wheeled, covered cart. Further back, on either side of the road which heads directly away from us, are more houses, with their gardens enclosed by low, white picket fances.

As so many of us prepare for #AATP it's a delight to discover a creative expression of place on #OnePlaceWednesday.

From #Berkeley, California, comes Jacqueline Barber, whose #OnePlace study is celebrated next week in a @berkhist.bsky.social talk:

The latest post on The Lost Hamlets of Rowley Regis #OnePlaceStudy website is The 1841 Census – Turner’s Hill: 3 Redferns but mainly Downings. It’s a detailed post, so grab a cuppa and have a #OnePlaceWednesday read!
