If you are not the first owner or occupier of your house then you'll probably have wondered who lived there before you and been interested in the history of the place. I have never lived anywhere older than a house built in the sixties and my parents owned that from new, I can't imagine living in a house with a history stretching back over 500 years. This page has been created by the owner of an old house in Abingdon and it is fascinating, I'm amazed at the level of detail he has managed to uncover.
