THE SANDS OF TIME: A SURREY COTTAGE FROM 1450 TO THE PRESENT DAY

The village of Limpsfield has long been appreciated for its wealth of historic domestic architecture. However, the identities of the people who owned and lived in its houses before the twentieth century have been largely untraced. This talk will explain how Nicholas reconstructed the history of a Limpsfield cottage and the land on which it stands, resulting in a revised understanding of its age and the discovery of fascinating information about its owners and residents. The story of one seemingly insignificant cottage gives remarkable insights into the history of south-east England from the medieval era to the present and demonstrates the potential of archival research to shed light on houses across Britain.

You can travel to and from these meetings by either a 430 or 435 bus getting off at Priory Drive.
