  • DEVONSIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE
    The following article presents the historical notes produced by Mrs Connie Smith, a long time resident of Devonshire Buildings, who died in 2013. She writes about Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place, plus a number of other places that bear the name Devonshire. The notes have been edited only to the extent of format and the occasional spelling error. DEVONSHIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE, in Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish, plus seven other constructions with the name of Devonshire. Since the appearance of Devonshire Place and Devonshire Buildings at the top of Bear F1at, Lyncombe, several other properties have also acquired the Devonshire appendage. These are:- Devonshire Cottage, Devonshire House, Devonshire Terrace, and Place, Devonshire Lodge, Devonshire Arms public house, and Devonshire Tunnel of the extinct Somerset & Dorset Rlwy. Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place were the first to be built and to understand how they came on to the suburban scene a little background is helpful, as follows:- During the last quarter of the l8th century and the beginning of the 19th a new road was pushed through Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish by the Bath Turnpike Trust. Built in two sections, which accounts for the dual names of Wells Road and Wellsway, today it is the A367 which stretches from Bath to the south and west, via. Radstock. The first section near to the city came circa 1772 and was called Wells Road. It successfully overcame the very steep incline up Beechen Cliff via the old Holloway by cutting am easier route for vehicles up the slope of Beechen Cliff from the elderly bridge of St.

    2/8/2018 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Bath and North East Somerset Per•onal Detalls: Name: Annabel Jackson E-mall: Postcode: Organisation Name: Annabel Jackson Associates Ltd Comment text: Dear Sirs I am writing as a resident of Bath & North East Somerset living in Lyncombe Hiii. I would like to comment on the draft proposals for new wards in the City of Bath. I strongly object to the proposed changes for the Widcombe ward area. The proposals clearly do not meet the stated aims of the LGBC, other than In respect of an arbitrary measure of voter equallty. The draft proposals would spllt the strong, vibrant and connected community of Wldcombe across five wards tor local councll representation. This would undermine communications and community engagement on local Issues, eroding the efficient working of our local government, and reducing community cohesion. Lyncombe Hill is very much part of Widcombe yet these proposals move us to another, disconnected, ward. We have strong social, transport and amenity links to Widcombe and this is our community. We believe that we should be included in an extended Wldcombe &. Lyncombe ward. We belleve wards can be designed to stlll achieve the equallty of voters objective whilst better reflecting our local community. I belleve the ward proposals must be reconsidered to better reflect our strong local community and achieve consistency of local representation with predomlnately two councillor wards {for example by combining Widcombe &. Lyncombe). I am aware that the Widcombe Association has proposed an alternative way to achieve the stated aims for ward design, including electoral equality, and strongly commend these proposals to you.

  • Barrack(S) Farm, Wellsway, Bath: the Estate and Its Holders
    27 BARRACK(S) FARM, WELLSWAY, BATH: THE ESTATE AND ITS HOLDERS A. J. Keevil Barrack(s) Farm provides a rare and interesting example of a medieval freehold tenement, held of an important ecclesiastical establishment (Bath Abbey) by knight service, which survived as a farm into the third quarter of the twentieth century. It lay some 11/2 miles south of the River Avon and the historic city of Bath, in a well-watered pastoral valley that climbs up to the oolitic limestone plateau of Odd Down. Here, above 500 feet, there was good arable land. The earliest map to show this area is Thomas Thorpe's Survey of a Five-mile radius of the city of Bath, 1742·, which clearly delineates the farm complex. Labelled 'Barracks', it consisted of two farm­ houses, a large walled barton, and a barn (fig.1), and lay almost mid-way between the former Wells Road (now Bloomfield Road) and Entry Hill, roads which converged at the Bear Flat before descending through Holloway into the city of Bath. When the present Wellsway was constructed as the new Turnpike Road to Wells in the first decade of the nineteenth century, 1. Location of 'Barracks' estate on Thorpe's map of the Bath area of 1742. The area outlined is shown in fig.2 . N (1) Gallows Tyning 1- ~ -~-~-..--·;;;:_:::::::---- - 29 it cut straight through the middle of the farm complex, leaving the barton on the western side, and the two farmhouses on the eastern side, of the road (fig.2). 1 Although the core of the farm had probably existed on this site for several centuries, gas-main laying operations in the new Wells Road or Wellsway, in 1955, revealed evidence of a much earlier, long occupied, habitation site, nearer the top of the hill.
