    2 Rathill Cottages Grittleton Chippenham SN14 7LB 11 January 2017 Mr Richard Sewell Development Services Wiltshire Council Monkton Park Chippenham SN15 1ER Dear Mr Sewell Ref : Ref 18/10196FUL & 16/10522/LBC, 16/10205FUL & 16/10551/LBC, 16/10204/FUL As long standing residents of the Parish of Grittleton (one of us since 1970), we wish to give our full support for the above referenced planning applications. Grittleton is a unique village, and to a large extent we can thank the Neeld family who once owned the Grittleton Estate for the village as we find it today. The massively wealthly Joseph Neeld came from London in 1828 and began a program of remodelling the village and rebuilt Grittleton House. It should be noted that Joseph did not have the hindrance of modern planning laws and no doubt the building of Grittleton House (which adds much character to the village) would never get permission today. However, build it he did, to the benefit of us all. The village continued to be developed right though until the early 20th century at which point to the Neeld family ran out of enthusiasm or money, it seems. The village became stuck in time and very little changed for many years. Of course, in the 1950’s when Grittleton should have taken its fair share of local authority housing, the Neeld family were still able to muster enough energy to ensure that this housing was put in Yatton Keynell , rather than in their own ‘back yard’. Over the past 40 years there has been sporadic in-filling, some of which is sympathetic and some less sympathetic.

Archdeacon Alan Jeans outlined his work with the Bishops of Salisbury and Ramsbury and his pastoral oversight over 100 parishes and 60 clergy across a large area of the Diocese. Archdeacon Jeans welcomed an open agenda and explained he was very happy to discuss Mere and PCC business, and would be dealing with the vacancy/future options as a whole Benefice as he was legally obliged to do. He will be meeting with the PCC of Maiden Bradley next week and is to get a meeting with the West Knoyle PCC in the diary. There is also an aspiration to meet with the Churchwardens and possibly the Treasurers of the three PCC’s in the future. Archdeacon Jeans thanked the PCC for the paper sent to him in advance, which included some helpful information for him and also some assumptions to address. With a potential deficit of £3.5m following a £1.5m deficit at the end of 2020, alongside a £2.5m Covid-19 loan drawn down to start to repay in September, there is no option to “do nothing”.

A plaque was placed at the foot of the tree, dedicated to the memory of Gladys and Gareth and to honour their long years of service to this village and the RBL. Long may they rest in peace.

  • Joseph Neeld and the Grittleton Estate
    Joseph Neeld and the Grittleton Estate In the Buttercross Bulletin dated November 2009, Grittleton House was mentioned in an article by Keith Woodman entitled 'Philip Rundell Royal Silversmith and his connections to North Wiltshire'. Isabel Blackburn, in this current article, tells what happened following his death in 1827. When Rundell died a considerable fortune was left to Joseph Neeld II, Philip's nephew. This changed not only Joseph's fortunes but also those of the Grittleton Estate. Joseph Neeld Joseph Neeld (1789-1856) was a solicitor from Bristol who, for 14 years, had looked after his wealthy and miserly uncle the silversmith Philip Rundell. In 1827 Neeld was rewarded with an inheritance of some £900,000 thus becoming one of the richest men in Britain at a stroke. In 1828 he bought the small manor of Grittleton, Wiltshire from the Houlton family. This comprised the village, a 17th century house and some land. He seems to have begun work shortly thereafter and certainly by 1831 when he married Lady Caroline Ashley-Cooper, daughter of the Earl of Shaftesbury, the remodelling of the house was under way. The marriage was a disaster, as she left him after four days, possibly because she found his illegitimate daughter installed at Grittleton. There was an acrimonious divorce within the year and Neeld lived a bachelor life thereafter with his mother in the expanding monster of a house, filling it with paintings and works of modern sculpture. He patronised the sculptors E.H. Baily, John Gibson, Sievier, Bienaimé, Gott, Wyatt, E.G. Papworth, R. Monti and Tadolini.

  • The Montagus and the Great West Doors of Bath Abbey” Online
    The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family The Manor of Lackham – Volume 3 The Montagus of Lackham and their historical connections by Tony Pratt and Karen Repko Last update : March 23, 2019 Wiltshire College Lackham 2010 1 The Manor of Lackham Vol 3 : The Montagu family This investigation of the history of the manor of Lackham, close to Chippenham and next to Lacock in Wiltshire, started with the current author’s “The Bluets ; a baronial family and their historical connections 1066- 1400 1” and was continued in “The Baynards : a county family and their historical connections 1360 – 1650 2.” This work takes the story through the period of the Civil War and the Enlightenment to Canal Mania and on into the early part of the nineteenth century. For biographies of the authors see the Introduction to Vol. 1 “The Bluets”. Both of the previous volumes in this history, and others, are held by Wiltshire Libraries, the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham and online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/documents.asp As always we owe enormous debts of gratitude to the people who helped by their willingness to give freely of their time, expertise and knowledge, and without whom this volume would not have been possible. Individual credits and thanks are given in the footnotes. Not credited specifically are the archivists and staff at all the record offices and libraries consulted and who were unfailingly helpful above and beyond that which might be expected. We are very lucky to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people around and we would express our very sincere gratitude to everyone who helped.
