  • Great Chalfield, Wiltshire: Archaeology and History (Notes for Visitors, Prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017)
    Great Chalfield, Wiltshire: archaeology and history (notes for visitors, prepared by the Royal Archaeological Institute, 2017) Great Chalfield manor belonged to a branch of the Percy family in the Middle Ages. One of them probably had the moat dug and the internal stone wall, of which a part survives, built, possibly in the thirteenth century. Its bastions have the remains of arrow-slits, unless those are later romanticizing features. The site would have been defensible, though without a strong tower could hardly have been regarded as a castle; the Percy house was a courtyard, with a tower attached to one range, but its diameter is too small for that to have been much more than a staircase turret. The house went through various owners and other vicissitudes, but was rescued by a Wiltshire business-man, who employed W. H. Brakspear as architect (see Paul Jack’s contribution, below). It is now owned by the National Trust (plan reproduced with permission of NT Images). Security rather than impregnability is likely to have been the intention of Thomas Tropenell, the builder of most of the surviving house. He was a local man and a lawyer who acquired the estate seemingly on a lease, and subsequently and after much litigation by purchase, during the late 1420s/60s (Driver 2000). In the house is the large and impressive cartulary that documents these struggles, which are typical of the inter- and intra-family feuding that characterized the fifteenth century, even below the level of royal battles and hollow crowns. Tropenell was adviser to Lord Hungerford, the dominant local baron; he was not therefore going to build anything that looked like a castle to challenge nearby Farleigh.

  • Appeal Decision Hearing Held on 9 October 2013 Site Visit Made on 9 October 2013 by Jacqueline Wilkinson Reg
    Appeal Decision Hearing held on 9 October 2013 Site visit made on 9 October 2013 by Jacqueline Wilkinson Reg. Architect IHBC an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 7 November 2013 Appeal Ref: APP/Y3940/E/13/2196123 Baydon Manor, Marridge Hill, Ramsbury, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 2HG • The appeal is made under section 20 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 against a refusal to grant listed building consent. • The appeal is made by Mr and Mrs P Stibbard against the decision of Wiltshire Council. • The application Ref E/2011/1572/LBC, dated 16 November 2011, was refused by notice dated 11 October 2012. • The works proposed are the demolition of the Winter Garden. Procedural matters 1. The appellant states that the proposal would be partial demolition, as the smaller attached vine house to the south would be retained. I have had regard to the list description and the relative volumes of the part to be demolished and the part to be retained as indicated on the application form. As only small ancillary and pre­existing structures would remain, the proposal would amount to total demolition of the principal building. I have therefore assessed this appeal on that basis and amended the description of the works. 2. For the purposes of Section 16 of the above Act, I have taken the whole heritage asset into account i.e. the grade II listed Manor House and its curtilage buildings, including the separately grade II listed Winter Garden. Decision 3. The appeal is dismissed.

  • Wiltshire's Fun Facts • Did You Know Another Series of Poldark Is Being
    Wiltshire’s Fun Facts Did you know another series of Poldark is being filmed this year at Great Chalfield Manor? Other filming includes The White Princess in Lacock and Bradford on Avon and Transformers at Stonehenge. Look out for Wiltshire on your TV/Cinema in 2017! Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles.
