Last year I took part in #allaboutthatplace with "Thatcham: Whats in a name?" - see https://youtube.com/watch?v=1U9jYQTqwjE. Looking at doing it again this year, short 10 min piece. Looking at possibly Roman Thatcham, Saxon Thatcham
or Dunston House (our last manor house). Thoughts? Suggestions? -

Resuming wider social media activities this #OnePlaceWednesday, after recovering from #AllAboutThatPlace and a very productive visit to the place that became my first #OnePlaceStudy, Waters Upton! How are things going with you and your #OnePlaceStudies?

I’m done! At least, done with watching all the video content of #AllAboutThatPlace, not done with the consequences. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to the Trello #OnePlaceStudies to-do list I go.

It hasn't been that long since we last updated you on the newly-registered #OnePlaceStudies added to our website - but as you can see from this graphic, lots of studies have joined those already registered in that short space of time!
Over 300 studies are now registered with us, thanks mainly to the "#AllAboutThatPlace effect."
Visit the Studies page on our website to find out more about all of our member-registered studies: https://www.one-place-studies.org/studies/

Two things we have been reminded of by #allaboutthatplace is:
1. In your research expand from your family to where they lived, worked, played and worshipped.
2. As 'family' historians we still need to collaborate more.
