#Youlgreave a lovely village in #Derbyshire .This is #ThimbleHall , a tiny C18th 1-up, 1-down cottage, with the upper floor having originally been accessed by a wooden ladder. It was named as the ‘Smallest detached house in GB’ in 2000 by Guinness World Records #HouseHistoryHour

So sadly missed by the family history and the #househistoryhour community. Glad you followed your instinct.

If you are thinking about tracing your house history or have started and need inspiration you should really join this course by the renowned house historian Gill Blanchard. BA. MA. PGCE (PCE). FRHistS #HouseHistoryHour

The land and cottage in Surrey that I investigated appears in the records of a C16 lay subsidy, the C17 hearth tax, the C18 land tax, C19 poor rates and the C20 land valuation survey. So my research gave me interesting insights into taxation over the centuries.
