  • 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.
