louisa_ :)TIL there's an area of Shrewsbury with the same name as our house - and the adjacent area has the same name as our next door neighbours' house. Fun coincidence!
●@louisa_ Do houses get named when they're built and/or do successive residents rename them when they move in?
@fembot we live in old farmhouses and the names have been in place since at least the 1830s (ie on the oldest maps that I can find). Our current house dates from a little later than that (1870s, when it was built as two small cottages) but there's been barns on the site since at least 1616 so presumably there was an earlier house/s here too - not sure what it was called at that point though.
