REPORTS

GSM Historical Research will research and write a bespoke, detailed illustrated history of your home and the people who lived there from the earliest times right through to the present.

This is written in narrative style, structured into several chapters and incorporating a photographic record, using historical images where available. The age and development of the building is discussed and analysed, along with the people who have lived there.

A typical history can be around 70 pages in length. The complete work is professionally bound in high-quality materials with gold blocking on cover and spine to produce a desirable volume which will be the centrepiece of your bookshelf and a valued family heirloom.

VALUE OF A HISTORY

A history of your property will add to the enjoyment of period living and emphasise its historic status. It is something that will always be admired by family, visitors and friends for generations to come, becoming a treasured possession that may remain in the family or be handed down to future occupants.

A property history is therefore a once-in-a-lifetime project, which is why many clients commission it as a gift (often a surprise one!), perhaps in celebration of a birthday or anniversary.
