Kent Archives' guide, How to Research the History of your House, lists and explains the range of material available at Kent History and Library Centre for researching properties. This talk focuses on one particular documentary source, namely deeds proving title to land, whether it is built on or not.
The speaker intends to provide guidance in locating and then interpreting title deeds. He will demonstrate their value as evidence, discuss their limitations and show how other sources may be used to supplement them. In some cases, historic houses have survived but their title deeds can't be found; in other cases, some deeds have survived but the houses have not. One example, in the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, demonstrates how they have helped locate the lost house of her grandfather, William Austen, in Tonbridge.
The Kent History and Library Centre is situated on the A229, by the 'White Rabbit Roundabout'
The 101 Gillingham to Maidstone bus stops outside the Centre. Maidstone East and Maidstone Barracks Railway Stations are around 10 minutes' walk away.
