  4. @Liz yes me. Been inactive for a while but wondering if it’s time to revive my presence here as I don’t think I can thole the former bird anymore. My #OnePlace exploits of late include getting a family Bible to a descendant in Australia. #OnePlaceWednesday

  5. A #OnePlaceStudy of #Drayton near Langport in #Somerset has been registered with us! “Drayton Remembers,” part of the village website, has more information about the place and its people, and photos taken by former resident Harry Stone.

  8. #Valentine was a forename given to several of the #Knightley men of #Fawsley in #Northamptonshire. Here we see the monument (inside Fawsley St Mary's) to Sir Valentyne Knyghtley who died in 1566, and the gravestone (in the churchyard) of Charles Valentine Knightley who died in 1932.

  9. #OnePlaceAdvent: document. Not your usual document…one of #Dunster’s doctors, Francis George Hayes, wrote regular newspaper columns reminiscing about his 42 years at Dunster. I’ll be blogging about him in the New Year #OnePlaceWednesday

  10. #OnePlaceAdvent: occupations. Flashback to some analysis I did on occupations in #Dunster in the 1841 census. I was interested to see how many female employees occupations were recorded. Most men were employed in agriculture & most employed women were servants #OnePlaceWednesday

  11. #AdventCalendar Day 3: water. As part of a scheme of improvements to #Dunster Castle made by (then) owner George Fownes Luttrell, in 1870 an underground reservoir was built which held 40,000 gallons (182,000 litres) of water #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlaceAdvent #OnePlaceWednesday

  12. I’ve decided to do a #OnePlaceStudies #AdventCalendar - feel free to join in! Home: cottage on the top was my 3x great grandparents’ home, I was told it was the cottage below but 1910 Valuation Act & censuses proved otherwise. #OnePlaceAdvent #OnePlaceWednesday #Dunster

  15. 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?

  16. I'm a keen family historian, mainly Sussex, Kent and Renfrewshire but some strayed to America, Canada and Australia!! I love my #OnePlaceStudy particularly on a #OnePlaceWednesday. Also love knitting, crochet and craft in general. #geneadon #Genealogy #Ancestry #FamilyHistory
