Waters Upton One-Place Study A One-Place Study of the parish of Waters Upton in Shropshire, England

I haven’t managed to blog about #OnePlaceGifts this month, but I have just extended the coverage of my Waters Upton #OnePlaceStudy “Wills before 1858” page (originally 1700-1730, now runs to 1856) and all those #OnePlaceWills contain gifts! Details of all the website updates are on the home page.

Reposting for our last #OnePlaceWednesday of 2025. It looks like Alex has #OnePlaceGifts covered in this too!

A thought that has occurred to me, regarding this month’s #OnePlaceStudy blogging prompt #OnePlaceGifts, is that our studies themselves, when we share the information we gather, transcribe and synthesise, are gifts to the wider #FamilyHistory and #LocalHistory communities. 🎁 #OnePlaceWednesday

Recommendation for #OnePlaceStudies folk looking to treat themselves?

If you see 'it' and can afford 'it' then grab 'it'. Whatever 'it' is.

Blogging and Social Media Prompt, December 2025: #OnePlaceGifts.

The boxes, viewed from above, lie on dark wooden floorboards. www.one-place-studies.org/blogging-prompts/ One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

What #OnePlaceGifts 🎁 (books, maps or other items) relating to your #OnePlaceStudy or to #OnePlaceStudies in general, would you like to find under your Christmas tree 🎄 this year? Also, what would you recommend to other one-placers who are looking to treat themselves? 🎅🏻 #OnePlaceWednesday

Anyone else working on a blog post for their #OnePlaceStudy, for the prompt #OnePlaceGifts or any other topic?
