Hi,
My son is looking for information regarding a property he has just moved into.
He is interested in the age of the property, who has lived there and any other information. We have looked on line but cant find anything other than information on the Market Tavern pub a few doors further up.
it is an old building full of character with creaking floors and uneven floors and walls and you can vision it has seen more than its fair share of people come and go. He loves the place and would love to find out more, although our dog when entering hated it and started growling ;D

Perhaps Atherstone Library, Long Street, Atherstone may be of assistance. They do say that there is a local studies and family history section. :)

Thank you, I will pass this on and he can do some research.
