  • The HISTORY FLAX BOURTON
    The HISTORY FLAX BOURTON BY THE REV. GEORGE S. MASTER, M.A. Edited by Robert J Evered 1 Nailsea and District Local History Society thanks Robert J Evered for offering this transcription of Master’s History of Flax Bourton. Although the parish is just outside our normal area of interest it seems churlish not to make it available to those whose interests occasionally wander beyond parish boundaries. Peter Wright Editor and Publisher N&DLHS This ebook version, © Robert J Evered and Nailsea & District Local History Society, PO Box 1089, Nailsea BS48 2YP, has been made available in January 2009, so that an individual may download and read this document, for private research purposes only. It must not be reproduced or passed to a third party without written permission of the copyright holders 2 FLAX BOURTON Occupying the centre of a fertile valley, which extends from the river Avon at Bristol on the East to the Bristol Channel between Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare on the West, and bounded on the North and South by picturesque well-wooded ranges of mountain limestone resting upon red sandstone, the Parish of Flax Bourton, notwithstanding its insignificance in size and importance, as compared with its adjoining neighbours, is rich in natural advantages. I note with approval the colour of its soil, and recal the satisfactory testimony to its value of no less an authority than Dr. Buckland, who, speaking to our Society in 1849, assured his audience that “let the soil be red and the soil will never be bad; let gentlemen buy their estates, and not sell them, upon the red soil.”1 The area of the Parish, comprising only 590 acres,2 includes the beautiful limestone gorge known as Bourton Combe, with its grey precipices on either side, indigenous yew and elder trees growing out of the crannies of the stone, while from the summit is an extensive prospect, the city of Bristol, with the ranges of Dundry and Lansdown, the Bristol Channel, and the mountains of Wales, the slopes of Clevedon and Ashton, and the hanging woods of nearer Tyntesfield.

The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.
