House History
Ever wondered when your house was built?
Questioned who lived in your house before you? Have you found
evidence of modifications and would like to further investigate?
SRA researchers are specialists in house history and are the
driving force behind the History Channel’s Hidden House
Histories. We offer a range of services, based on our expertise,
to help you trace the history of your house.
General house history
Documentary research into the history
of your house is available at the rate of £250 per day plus
VAT based on an initial 3 days research. We advise you to
contact us to discuss setting up
research parameters, as house history can be a complex and
lengthy subject to research.
Architectural analysis
We can arrange for an architectural
evaluation of your property by one of our specialist experts
who can date the features of your house. Prices start from
£400 a day, plus VAT. Please contact
us for more details.
We also offer packages which incorporate
archive research and architectural analysis for large estates
or legal clients. Please contact us for further details. A
typical package incorporates a visit to the property, combined
with archive research presented with a full report. Prices
vary depending on the scope and size of the project, please
contact us for further details.
Pub histories
Taverns and inns played a vital role in the local community,
with many interesting characters passing through their doors,
and historical pubs are often included on tourist routes.
We can trace the history of your pub, and where possible shed
light on exciting episodes from the past. As part of this
service, you will receive a pamphlet that can be distributed
(or sold) to your customers, and we can arrange photocopies
of key documents that can be displayed on the walls. The rates
start at £250 per day, please contact
us to discuss further.
Other services
We provide a range of illustrated talks, document workshops,
and training days on all aspects of house history. Please
contact us for further details.
