There are 24 different fields by which you can search
for a house
To perform a search in the Database, enter your search
criteria in one or more of the fields
below and click the
"Submit" button, or press the "Enter" button on your
keyboard.
The more fields in which you enter search criteria the
more focused and narrow your search
results will be; e.g., if you enter Scotland
in the "Country" field, Scottish
Borders in
the "District Today" field, and Peebleshire
in the "Historic County" field,
the search results will come back
with only one record:
Neidpath Castle. Conversely, if you
search only in the "Country" field and choose
England,
the search will come back with over 5,000 records.
If you're searching for a house and you're sure of its name, there's no
need to
enter the "Country," "District Today," or any of the other search fields,
as this may restrict your search results; simply enter the name of the house
in the "House Name" field, and press "Submit."

Database
Search
It's best to always perform the widest
possible search with
the least criteria,
e.g., if you know the name of the house, enter only it, rather than "House Name,"
"Country,"
"Seat Info," etc.
The other fields ("Country," "District Today," "Circa
Date," etc.)
are primarily designed to be used to search when little other information is available,
or when you want to see
all the houses in a particular district, or by a certain architect, etc.
Your
search will also
produce better results if you enter the minimum of the house name,
e.g., "Canons," rather than
"Canons Ashby Hall."
