Research

Welcome to my research page.

​While my wider interests lie in East Anglian family history, old buildings, and how local settlements developed over time, my primary focus is a long-term project on the Dunston Hall Estate.

​Dunston Hall isn’t just a building—it’s an entire ecosystem of changing land, tenant farms, and the generations of families connected to it. I use this space as a digital notebook to share findings as they come to light, whether that’s a detail from a parish register, an old estate map, or physical evidence in the brickwork.

​Below are posts covering individual discoveries, family histories, and specific episodes in the estate’s long past.
