Question:

Is it possible to trace the history of a house on the Internet?

I would like to trace he history of a house named Studley Manor, it's situated near the village of Studley - near Harrogate in Yorkshire. I have tried to "Google" it but I get the sites for a hotel and not much more. It was a large country house so it's possible it could now be an hotel. The fees for Ancestry.com and others are far too expensive for me.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try visiting the 'knowhere' site for that area and ask on the forums if anyone can help you with the history of that particular house. People sometimes are really helpful . Good luck xx
