Warwickshire News Mine

“Discovering Title Deeds” is being held on Saturday 20 November between 9.15 am and 12.15 pm at Warwickshire County Record Office, Priory Park, off Cape Road, Warwick. 

Local historian Christine Hodgetts will lead the session looking specifically at title deeds and the information they contain. Christine will explain how to locate title deeds before showing how to get essential information from them and helping participants to find the information they need.

Title deeds are of great interest to local historians, house historians and family historians as they contain information on everything from land usage to detailed descriptions of buildings and what’s in them.  They can also provide details of intricate family relationships, as well as who’s buying and selling. 

Rowan Fisher, Learning and Outreach Officer at Warwickshire County Record Office, says: “Title deeds are the building blocks of house and local history, but people often find them daunting.  We hope that this workshop will help people get to grips with using them for research.”

Tickets cost £12.00 and booking is strongly recommended, by calling 01926 738959 Tuesday to Saturday.
