I love that you're showing how important old buildings are in connecting us to the past, and giving us a sense of place. That's why Americans visit Britain to look at old buildings. Much of the US today has lost much of its uniqueness: One town looks like another.
Thank you, Annette. There are many stories connected to the old buildings and how they have changed ownership and use over the years. I love researching and finding out about them, and sharing this with you and my readers.
Wonderful! One of the first research exercises I did in postgrad studies was a house history. It was fascinating--and this was in California, so it wasn't that old!

In that case, you will love this BBC TV series, A House Through Time

Oooh!
These looks fabulous but it looks like I can't view them in the US online.
You mean A House Through Time? Yes. Just clips. It's a pain. We have to hope PBS (or more likely BritBox or some such) have the program :(
I just found it online at YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngbJp5Szkbk
Looks like it’s off BBC iPlayer at the moment
If you have a VPN set it for uk or try YouTube- might be something on there
