Devon History Trail
First steps

Exeter City Receiver's accounts
These 14th century Exeter City Receiver's accounts are not the sort of document you are likely to find in your attic!

First of all see what resources you might already have to hand:

  • Community history. Do you have any photographs, news cuttings, old guidebooks available? Do any friends or neighbours have material?
  • House history. Do you have access to your deeds?
  • Family history. Have you asked members of your family what birth or marriage certificates, family photographs and other documents they may have?

Have you looked at any general guides to local history or genealogical research?
