Built Environment

The Built Environment Research Frameworks for Worcestershire are presented on pages linked below. The framework is organised by both cross-period themes (Farmsteads/ Rural Buildings) and also by main period as recorded in the Worcestershire HER. You will find that the research questions support both local and national research. Please note that the frameworks are a work in progress. If you have any questions, please visit the HER Page for contact details.
