Acknowledgements A Heritage Lottery Grant enabled the purchase, by YCCCART, of a Bartington Gradiometer 601 without which this survey could not have been undertaken. This survey was carried out at the request of Mr David Fogden, Administrator of the house, and provided YCCCART with a good training opportunity. We are also most grateful to David for providing us with his results and allowing us to publish his drawings. The authors are grateful for the hard work by the members of YCCCART in performing the survey.

But a number of volumes by different writers are never likely to be quite uniform in character, even though planned on the same lines; and it seems desirable to explain shortly the aim we have had in view in writing our own little book. In our accounts of places of interest we have subordinated the historical to the descriptive element; and whilst we have related pretty fully in the Introduction the events of national importance which have taken place within the county, we have not devoted much space to family histories. We have made it our chief purpose to help our readers to see for themselves what is best worth seeing. If, in carrying out our design, we appear to have treated inadequately many interesting country seats, our excuse must be that such are naturally not very accessible to the ordinary tourist, whose needs we have sought to supply. And if churches and church architecture seem to receive undue attention, it may be page 2 / 318 pleaded that Somerset is particularly rich in ecclesiastical buildings, and affords excellent opportunities for the pursuit of a fascinating study.

Although Henry Hallam (–) is best known for his Constitutional History of England () and as a founder of ‘whig’ history, to situate him primarily as a mere critic of David Hume or as an apprentice to Thomas Babington Macaulay does him a disservice. He wrote four substantial books of which the first, his View of the state of Europe during the middle ages (), deserves to be seen as the most important; and his correspondence shows him to have been integrated into the contemporary intelligentsia in ways that imply more than the Whig acolyte customarily portrayed by commentators. This article re-situates Hallam by thinking across both time and space and depicts a significant historian whose filiations reached to Europe and North America. It proposes that Hallam did not originate the whig interpretation of history but rather that he created a sense of the past resting on law and science which would be reasserted in the age of Darwin.

  • Clevedon Skyline Circular Walk Clevedon Is
    Skyline Walk Clevedon offers some spectacular views of town, coast and channel. This walk starts in the Alexandra road area. If you are driving, please park considerately. Make your way into the park known as Pier Copse. Take the steps up from in front of the kiosk and admire the views from the terrace above. STOP 1. The Sunset Terrace. After the end of the First World War an Austrian howitzer was given to Clevedon as a war relic. For many years it was located at the top end of 1 Pier Copse overlooking Clevedon’s beautiful Grade 1 listed Pier. Nowadays the terrace is a popular spot for enjoying sunsets and views of the grade 1 listed Pier and the Bristol Channel. The old gun is long gone. STOP 2. Drop down onto the seafront, turn left and walk along the promenade towards the Bandstand. This was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. After passing the famously windswept yew tree and a pebbly beach you soon come to Salthouse Fields, where salt was panned in years gone by and, on the other side of the sea wall, Clevedon’s famous Marine Lake, the largest infinity pool in the world! 2 The direct route takes you from the Salthouse fields to Victoria Road and Point 5 The longer route now follows Poets’ Walk, which is well signposted. So, at the end of the promenade, start to climb the broad steps in front of you, beside the Salthouse Pub. After the first few steps, turn right along the wide path through the trees - still above the Marine Lake.

  • Tickenham, Where the Court Was Inspected. Tickenham Court
    34 Thirty-third Annual Meeting . cess of demolition had been going on for at least 1200 years, it was no wonder that other remains besides Roman things were found. The Rev. H. H. Winwood suggested that the discovery Mr. Earle made, some time ago, might throw some light on the matter. The destruction might have taken place between the departure of the Romans and the incoming of the Saxons. That would give them a sort of approximate idea. The Rev. Dr. Hardman, Lecturer of Yatton Church, next gave some notes on that building, as printed in Part II. Mr. Green said he missed the western gallery that was in the church when they visited it twenty years ago. It was a fine example, and was put up by Lysons, the antiquary. It was so perfect an imitation of ancient work that it even deceived antiquaries as to its date. Dr. Hardman said the gallery had been removed. The President having thanked Dr. Hardman, next called upon Mr. J. Morland who read a paper on “ A Roman road between Glastonbury and Street.” Mr. Morland’s paper will be found in Part II. The Rev. H. H. Winwood objected to the name Roman as applied in this case, but time being very short there was unfortunately no discussion. The President having thanked Mr. Morland, called on Mr. George, who read a short biographical notice of Judge Choke of Long Ashton. The Chairman having thanked Mr. George for his paper, the meeting then terminated, soon after ten o’clock. The morning was fine, and a large party assembled at the Public Hall at ten o’clock.

  • Clevedon Court
    CLEVEDON COURT After 1066, the Manor of Clevedon was granted to Matthew Mortagne whose family probably changed their name to de Clevedon before the middle of the twelfth century. By 1296, the manor was held by John de Clevedon. It is thought he built the house incorporating the mid-thirteenth century tower into the battlements. Edmund de Clevedon died in 1376 and his second wife Alice was entitled to a third of her late husband’s income for the rest of her life. There are four medieval court rolls relating to this period in the British Library, dated 1321, 1389, 1390 and 1397. The rolls give a fascinating insight to life in fourteenth century Somerset although there is little about the house or garden. The Dower Document which is attached to the 1389 roll, states Alice’s assets: And there is also there one dovecote that is worth per annum 5s. Item 1/3 part of the lord’s mill and worth per annum 15s 61/2d. Item one garden called west garden that is worth per annum 18d. Item 1 virgate price 10d. Item 1.3 part of pasture in the park worth 20d. Item 1.3 part of a wood on Northdon containing 10 acres price [per?] acre at present 6s 8d if sold and Item 1.3 part of a wood on Calso containing 2 acres 1 rood price [er?] acre 2s_ _ _ pasture none which [is] of no value. In the fourteenth century, the de Clevedon’s would have spoken French, the villagers Middle English while important documents were written in Latin.

    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’).

  • Clevedon Court Access Statement

The terraces are accessed by steep inclines and steps. The home to the lords of the manor of Clevedon for centuries, the core of the house is a remarkable survival from the Medieval period. The ground floor has Medieval flagstone, and are uneven. Access to the upper floors are by steps only. The house was purchased by Abraham Elton in 1709 and it is still the much-loved family home of his descendants today. Mobile phone reception is very good, up to 4G. In an emergency call 999/112. Assistance dogs are welcome only Light levels are low inside the house, in some corridors, due to the Medieval character of the building. This is mainly in the entrance and a few passages on the ground floor. Arrival & Parking Facilities Clevedon Court is well signposted, via brown signs, from junction 20 on the M5, and is situated on the B3130. Parking is free, 50 meters, from the entrance. The car park is unsuitable for trailer caravans or motor caravans. Alternative parking is 100 yards east of the entrance in a cul-de-sac. There are no designated spaces for disabled visitors in the main car park which is 20 meters from Visitor Reception.
