Lauren Stewart, a genealogist student with Oxbridge home learning, has a passion for family history and set up her business, Honouring Your History, to do in her spare time.
She said: “I’ve been researching my family tree since January 2021 and when seeing how dirty some old family headstones were, I decided to clean them. I then realised how much I enjoyed this and the satisfaction of seeing the lovely clean stone afterwards. It’s similar with photo restorations.

Hide AdLauren did an A Level in photography so had a good knowledge of how to use photoshop.
“I’ve always had a huge interest in family/local history and my main focus in A Level photography was ‘Rothbury Past & Present’ where I would merge my own photos with historical photos of Rothbury & Upper Coquetdale,” she added.
