House History Pack Reviews

Sarah Robinson-Gay – ★★★★★

We commissioned Discovering Heritage to create a history of our listed property. The research was thorough and fascinating, providing insight into previous owners and a sense of place in the history of the town. Presented in a beautiful folio with a unique drawing of the house.

Shireen Harland – ★★★★★

I asked Discovering Heritage to research the original plans for my house. They were able to locate the plans for me and I now have them framed and displayed on my wall.

Judith Seymour – ★★★★★

Very professional service quickly and thoroughly done. Many thanks for your efficient input.

Repeat Purchase Reviewer – ★★★★★

This is a repeat purchase for research of second paternal line. As before Fiona and her team have done a fantastic job. Many thanks!

Robyn Valdine Hogg – ★★★★★

Fiona was super helpful and worked to a very tight deadline for my mum’s birthday. Wendy really captured the house perfectly and made sure it was right before sending. Proudly hanging in my parents’ office now.

Will Cooper – ★★★★★

Brilliant history pack and managed to source original plans of our house from 1898!

Kate – ★★★★★

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my mam. She absolutely loved it!! The presentation is beautiful, and all the information was so informative. It’s a beautiful keepsake. I also purchased the house history for my sister which she loved. Can’t recommend enough.

House Illustration Reviews

Holly – ★★★★★

Absolutely wonderful! We ordered two illustrations with custom details (people & pets) plus a short history. The illustrations were perfect and the short history gave me goosebumps – fascinating. Blown away by how good it is! So well presented and wrapped.

Kay Newton – ★★★★★

I received this wonderful gift for my 60th birthday. ‘My Townhouse Story’ is a really interesting gift and I was delighted with my unique house portrait! A thoughtful and very well presented keepsake.

Julie Knight – ★★★★★

Beautiful, thoughtful gift received for Christmas. We are so pleased with an amazing illustration of our 1930s house in Carlisle and history of the previous owners. The whole package is a delight.

Family Folio Buyer – ★★★★★

I bought the Family Folio as a Christmas present for my Dad and he thought it was fantastic. The final design looks great – such a lovely way to record our family history. The team provided regular updates on their progress during research and design.

Thank you so much Fiona and Sue @ Discovering Heritage for trying to trace any living relatives of my late Mum. You were very knowledgeable, helpful & professional and I would highly recommend you to anyone.
