I was telling an employee of mine about my tour of a 120 year old house in Houston. He said that he could take me to a house in England that had been continuously lived in for 1,200 years.

Anyway, on my tour I learned where the term 'sleep tight' originated.

:^) Little Jimmy Dickens had a song about sleeping tight. ;^)

Oldest continuously occupied home in England dates from 1148. Most places have only surviving elements from the original construction. There are however buildings that survive in some form from Roman Britain, they’re just not houses.
