General Interest
The landscape of Worcestershire is full of traces of the people that lived here before. Some of these, such as historic buildings, ancient churches and hedgerows, we can still see – while some traces are less obvious, like a medieval market place now fronted with modern buildings. Other remains are completely invisible, such as traces of a Roman farmstead or a medieval burial ground. If you’re interested in where you live, a particular historical period, or are trying to find out more about the area your ancestors inhabited, get in touch. We’ll advise you on your best route into the past.
