  • A Short Guide to House History
    A short guide to house history House history can be interesting and exciting, however it is not always very easy and can be very time consuming. It is often not possible to date buildings accurately. It is worth checking your title deeds, if you have access to them, to see if they give any further clarification of a date. If not, start with the present and working backwards. In general sources will either tell you about the building (for example showing its outline on a plan) or the people who owned the property or lived there. We have a number of records here at Shropshire Archives which might help you with your research. The sources we hold here are split between our Reading Room and our Search Room. Secondary sources in the Reading Room: Library collection –someone may have written up something on the area, if not the house so check the online catalogue ( http://search.shropshirehistory.org.uk/) Ordnance Survey Maps - 25 inch to the mile maps, 1970s back to the 1880s, show incredible detail and are available on microfiche. Tithe Maps dating from c1836-1850 show fields and properties and are on microfiche. The 'apportionments', which go with the map, list owners and occupiers. These are on microfilm. Finding the owner of the land is important if you want to go on to find other records. We also have printed field name maps which are based on the tithe maps and much easier to use. Census returns for the years 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 will show occupiers of each house on census night.

  • Collections Management Policy November 2015
    Shropshire Archives Collections Management Policy November 2015 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview and history 1.1.1 History of the Service Shrewsbury Corporation established a borough library and museum in 1885, largely through the efforts of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. In 1898 a Records Committee was set up by Salop County Council, initially to report on the records of the clerk of the peace, but an honorary archivist was appointed only in 1934. In 1947, Salop County Council created a Record Office to organise their Quarter Session records and large estate, parish and other official collections, and this appeared to duplicate some of the work of the Shrewsbury Borough Library and Museum. A guide to these holdings was produced in 1952. The Borough Library became part of the County Library Service in 1974 and its extensive collections formed the basis of a local studies library with a county-wide role. The County Record Office continued to be organised independently but became the principal repository for the vast collection of manuscript material deposited with the County Council. The re- organisation of County Council services in 1988 led to the creation of the Leisure Services Department and the County Record Office and Local Studies Library were finally administratively united as the Records and Research Unit. 1.1.2 Shropshire Archives and the Records Management Service Further re-organisation in 1995 led to the creation of Shropshire County Council’s Information and Community Services Department which funded the £1.8 million project to build the Records and Research Centre. Located in Castle Gates, Shrewsbury, the purpose- built centre has four levels with a total floor space of 1,500 square metres.

The study area lay within the historic core of the medieval town of Much Wenlock, and it was considered possible that archaeological remains might be encountered during the groundworks for the development. However, no significant archaeological features or deposits were seen during the watching brief.
