  • Bradford-On-Tone
    1 BRADFORD-ON-TONE Bradford-on-Tone is a rural parish three miles north-east of Wellington and four miles WSW of Taunton, in the former hundred of Taunton Deane.1 The small village lies immediately to the south-east of the river where several roads converge on the medieval bridge that replaced the ford. Also within the parish are the hamlet and former manor of Hele, the former Heatherton Park estate and a number of scattered farmsteads. There is a diverse range of buildings, from the medieval church and a number of late medieval houses to several substantial 19th-century dwellings and the early 20th-century chapel at Heatherton Park. In the 17th and 18th centuries Bradford seems to have been of some importance as a regional centre for the cloth trade. Today it is probably best known for its cider farm. Bradford takes its name from the ‘broad ford’ across the river Tone, described as Bradan Forda and Bradanford in a charter of 882.2 It was referred to as Bradeford in the Domesday Book.3 It was Bradeford by Welyngton in 1311,4 a name still used in 1424.5 In a will of 1429 the parish was described as Bradeford by Taunton.6 However, it was most commonly referred to simply as Bradeford after 1399.7 The half-share of the manor owned by the Franceis family was known as Bradford Fraunceys between 1461 and 14828 but the epithet never became attached to the parish, which was known as Bradford by 1617.9 The 1 C.

  • A Brief History of the Importance of Bude Sand and Its Resulting Construction of the Bude Canal with This Section Relating to the Bude Aqueduct
    A brief history of the importance of Bude sand and its resulting construction of the Bude Canal with this section relating to the Bude Aqueduct. Due to the heavy, wet and cold acid condition of the soil on the Atlantic side of North Cornwall and Devon, much of the area was looked upon as extremely poor pasture land. However, as early as the 14th century, land within the grounds of Tavistock Abbey had been enriched with the high level of calcium rich sand from Widemouth Bay which had been transported by pack mules. In many areas where possible, burnt lime was being used to similar effect in the mid 1790s but Bude sand was being used locally in the mid 1700s. Although the sand was available free of charge, loading and transport costs increased with the distance and with the poor condition of the road network this was still being done by pack mules. By the 1770s road conditions improved sufficiently to accommodate wheeled transport but the increased levels of traffic soon caused concern among locals with the associated increase in wear and tear. 1774 The first proposal for a canal was put forward by John Edyvean with Edmond Leach and John Box surveying a possible route. All three presented evidence to the House of Lords Committee and the subsequent th Act received Royal Assent on 24 May, 1774. 1777 John Smeaton estimated the costs as £119,201 and raised an alternative plan to reduce the costs but neither scheme was started. 1785 An attempt was made by Edmond Leach to revive the canal project by introducing some new ideas based on John Smeaton’s report.
