Clare Hopkins | Historic Footsteps

Historic Footsteps explores local and family history, helping you understand the past through what we can still see and experience in the present.

Filmed on location, each episode visits historic buildings, landscapes, churches, towns, and industrial sites to explore how these places shaped everyday life - and the world our ancestors lived in.

Created and presented by Clare Hopkins, a professional genealogist, Historic Footsteps connects physical places to the people who lived and worked there, and to the traces that survive today.

In 2026, the project is focused on Northamptonshire, visiting around 50 historically significant sites to build a long-term heritage archive and a published county guide.

Historic Footsteps works with heritage sites, tourism organisations, publishers, and cultural institutions.
