Melanie Caldicott has registered Cotesbach One-Place Study with us! Research and family reconstruction based on parish and other local records for this #Leicestershire village is being shared on Melanie’s website for this #OnePlaceStudy. Check it out on #OnePlaceWednesday

There is a porch slightly right of centre; the windows around and to the right os that have narrower gaps between them than the windows to the left. The sky above is cloudy but with some blue showing.

Happy #OnePlaceWednesday! I have the day off, so as well as researching events for SOPS to attend, I’m indulging in some #OnePlaceStudy research, & eagerly anticipating a trip to my former study village of Dunster. We’ll be staying on West Street, where some of my ancestors lived

I’m very excited to be doing the evening online version of #Suffolk Archives’ ‘Workhouses & #SocialHistory’ talk which starts on Monday 19 October. Not sure how much I there is to find out about the #Sudbourne workhouse - not much in the archives - but I’ll do my best!

Great to see a new post added to the #OnePlaceStudy website for #Stretton in #Cheshire! Inspired by David Olusoga’s series ‘Finding Britain’s Slave Traders’ and the launch of the Register of British Slave Traders, Clare Olver has written about Stretton, Slavery & Social Networks.

The abandoned hamlet of Snap was reclaimed by woodland, but stories of the inhabitants and the history of the place have been gathered over the years.

“Nan Pam, have you got any books about the workhouse? It’s for my homework.” Have I? He’s come to the right house. 🤣 📚 📚 📚

Could this be the grandson who takes up my interest in history? Trying not to get ahead of myself. First, the homework. #OnePlaceWednesday

It was a privilege this week to be invited to share some of the early history of the Irish in Batley & the parish of St Mary of the Angels amongst those for who it is most relevant. It was a lovely social occasion too.

Graveltown, Newberry One-Place Study has been registered with us by Lahnice Hollister. This #OnePlaceStudy focuses on a section of Newberry County, South Carolina that was informally called Graveltown, where many newly-freed Black men and women resided. #OnePlaceWednesday
