Heritage Research

Heritage Research provides the historical and contextual foundation for understanding a site or building’s significance. Drawing on archival sources, historic mapping, documentary evidence and relevant published material, we establish how a place has evolved and why it matters. This research often forms the basis of Heritage Statements, impact assessments and wider conservation strategies.

Aurora Heritage undertakes focused and proportionate research tailored to the needs of each project. Our work supports planning applications, conservation management, feasibility studies and due diligence, ensuring that proposals are informed by a clear and accurate understanding of historic development and policy context.
