] Easy actually.
] 1. Be a geography undergrad.
] 2. Have a prof with a doctorate in Vernacular Architecture, who likes you.
] 3. Help said prof with his work(farmhouses in northern France - I could be very rude about some bits of The Advocate.)
] 4. Spend two summers comparing medeival and stuart street plans, housing styles, roof constructions (plesae Ma'am, may I have a look in your loft?)and land usage.
] 5. Delve into old wills, taxation records and byelaws in the Surrey County Records Office.
] Yes, it was fun!

P.S. Did people actually let you look at their lofts, or did you get chased away with a shotgun all the time?
