-:The Black and White House is a remarkably well preserved example of a 17th Century timber-framed building and is situated in the heart of Hereford. Built in 1621, the house has been used for many purposes over the years, starting life as a butcher's home and shop and finishing its commercial life in the hands of Lloyds Bank in the late 1920s. Since 1929 it has been a fascinating museum giving an insight into daily life in Jacobean times. It is furnished in period style with an internationally important collection of English oak furniture.

+For a long list of Herefordshire museums, go to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_in_Herefordshire List of museums in Herefordshire] in Wikipedia.
-The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''General Register Office'''] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''website'''] (a login is required but it is free to register and search). However, in some cases research can be more efficient working with the smaller, more specific records collections of county/district registry offices.
