#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of a grassy bank on the edge of a churchyard, with lots of yellow flowers (Winter Aconite). At the top of the bank is a tree trunk, a little further away to theft of that is a gravestone with a cross on top, and to the right is a wall built of stone (part of the church). Above, to the left, a blue sky can be seen - a rarity in February 2026! One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo taken in a churchyard in February, looking across a green field to a large country house and the leafless trees around it. Various gravestones, some recent, some old and covered with lichens, stand in the foreground. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of the view across an icy lake, just before sunset on a Winter’s afternoon in January 2025. We see this view through a gap in the lakeside reeds. On the far side of the lake there are trees and bushes silhouetted against the pale blue sky and the setting sun; both the sun and the sky are reflected on the surface of the lake. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of the view across a narrow lake in Winter. On the near shore in the foreground there is grass. Close to the opposite shore are a few large, leafless Oak trees standing at the bottom of a grassy field that occupies the sloping ground rising beyond the water. At the top of the slope, just visible on the left, is part of Fawsley Hall, and on the right, Fawsley St Mary's church with its tower. There are trees in the wide gap between those buildings. Above, the sky is blue; that colour is reflected in the water of the lake along with the trees. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Welcome to another #OnePlaceWednesday! What’s happening out there in the wonderful world of #OnePlaceStudies? Do you have OPS news, blog posts, links, advice or pictures to share? Do you have OPS questions to ask? Add the hashtag and post away, any time today!

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of a view across a field, with a few sheep in the foreground looking towards the camera. In the middle-distance, at the bottom of the field's gentle slope, is a lake with a few trees on its near and far sides, and beyond that are more grassy fields and a small woodland. It is a sunny January day, so the trees are bare and sky is blue, a colour reflected by the surface of the lake. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Welcome to #OnePlaceWednesday! Use the hashtag to post about the wonderful world of #OnePlaceStudies, or to view what others have posted. If you have a #OnePlaceStudy, what what was it about about your chosen Place that made you decide to focus on it? No OPS – what Place fascinates you, and why?
#OnePlaceWednesday (but in place of the 'O' there is a round Christmas pudding image!). Image: Half a dozen round Christmas tree ornaments, each with Wintery, Christmassy scenes showing a house or a cluster of houses with snow on their roofs and around them. The background is greenish and out of focus, with brighter spots that may be Christmas lights. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Welcome to the last #OnePlaceWednesday of 2025! Use the hashtag, at any time today, in posts—Christmassy or otherwise—relating to #OnePlaceStudies in all their forms, and place-based #FamilyHistory projects. Ask questions, engage in general chat, or share your OPS news, pics, links, highlights etc.

Cannot stop thinking about the family of the young man with hydrocephalus from birth, who did not have much money, but cared for him at home well enough that he lived to 21. For the turn of the century, that is quite a feat. #genealogist #microhistory
