    COorspttng Ptiorp. BY THE HEY. E. W. WEAVER, M.A., F.S.A. rr^HE Priorj of Worspring was founded by William de Courteney ; the exact date of the foundation is not known. The letter from the founder to Bishop Joscelyn is not dated, but in it the Bishop is called Bishop of Bath, which title seems to refer to the years between 1219 and 1242;^ at any rate it was a going concern in 1243, for in that year Prior Reginald died and Prior Richard succeeded him. It was dedi- cated to the B.y.M. and St. Thomas of Canterbury, and was a house of Canons Regular of the Rule of St. Augustine and of the Order of St. Victor. The letter of the founder to the Bishop points to the great monastery of the same order at Bristol as a kind of foster- mother to Worspring. Some of the Augustinian Monasteries were of the Rule of St. Victor : St. Augustine’s Abbey at Bristol, Keynsham Abbey, Stavordale Priory and Worspring Priory in Somerset, and Wormesley Priory in Herefordshire were all of this Rule. The Rule was named after the famous Abbey of St. Victor in Paris, which was founded by Louis VI in 1129. Gregory Rivius, in his Monastica Historia (Lipsiae, 1737, cap. 10, p. 26), gives a list of rules of the Canons Regular of St. Victor, and shews how their rule differed from that of St. Augustine.

Land has probably been worked here since late Neolithic times. Evidence in the form of a flint blade (probably once accompanying a late Neolithic burial), sherds ofBronze Age beaker ware (c.1750 BC) and Roman pottery sherds and other artefacts indicate continuity of occupation. The village boundaries of Stanton Prior, Corston and Marksbury, all converge on Stantonbury, but ignore Wansdyke, the other great archaeo­ logical feature here.

  • The Survey of Bath and District
    The Survey of Bath and District The Magazine of the Survey of Old Bath and Its Associates No.9, June 1998 Editors: Mike Chapman Elizabeth Holland The Rebecca Fountain, taken 1997 by local artist and photographer Edy Scott. The Temperance movement gained momentum from the increased availability of clean drinking water. Previously even children were given wine and ale to drink. The allusion to Rebecca is taken from Genesis 24:15. Included in this issue; An historical review of the Hetling Pump Room and Hetling House by Elizabeth Holland. Extracts from the memoirs of John James Chapman in the early 19th century, concerning his schooldays in Bath and the religious issues of the day. Further research on the historical development of the Ambury by John Macdonald. 1 NEWS FROM THE SURVEY Our article on “Stothert’s Foundry, Southgate Street, Bath” has been published in BIAS Journal 30. This issue of the journal is discussed in “Publications”. We have also contributed a section on the Southgate area to the exhibition at Bath Industrial Heritage Centre, open from June to October. Friends are invited to the opening on Saturday 13 June, at 6.30 p.m. Our special subjects for this display are Stothert and Pitt’s, and Transport. By following up various leads, we have decided on an exact site for the Horse Bath in the Southgate Street area. If commissioned, we shall be glad to write a report on this, but otherwise it is not part of our immediate programme. The same applies to Opie Smith’s brewery, on which a study could be made as has been done with Stothert’s foundry.

    The Survey of Bath and District The Magazine of the Survey of Old Bath and Its Associates No.13, June 2000 Editors: Mike Chapman Elizabeth Holland The Walcot and St.Michael’s parish boundary marks on the wall of Ladymead House, taken from the site of the Cornwell spring. _____________ Included in this issue; • Did Hogarth Paint Susanna Chapman? Susan Sloman • The Ken Biggs Architectural Archive Jacky Wibberley • Cornwell, Walcot Street Allan Keevil NEWS FROM THE SURVEY The proposed pictorial booklet on the Guildhall has been deferred to a future date. We are now publishing our study of the Guildhall; unlike our other booklets it centres on the history of the building rather than a whole area. We have received a grant for a further publication, for which we are grateful. It was intended to be used for the Sawclose area, but as that will appear in Bath History later this year, it is now planned to use it for a report on the springs and watercourses of Bath. Our study of the Bimbery area has been completed. Mike spoke on ‘Great Houses of Bimbery’ at the lunchtime lecture last November, and a walk is planned for later on. We are working towards bringing out a Bimbery booklet later this year. This will include two new maps, one an annotation of Palmer’s development map of c.1804-1805, and the other a map created by the Survey of the area c.1770. Our contribution to the exhibition on Walcot Street at the Museum of Bath at Work is now in place and we hope Friends will visit it.

    COMPTON DANDO FIVE VILLAGES PARISH PLAN Queen Charlton Chewton Keynsham Burnett Woollard Compton Dando September 2010 1 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks to all the volunteers from each of the five villages who have made this plan possible. The steering committee particularly wish to recognise the contribution made by Charles Fallon, the first Chairman of the group, for his drive in setting the ball rolling. Thanks also go to those organisations whose help has been invaluable in this process, in particular Bath & North East Somerset Council, Community Action and other Parish Plan groups. Funding for the process was made available by Quartet Community Foundation. Additional funding was provided by Compton Dando Parish Council. Neither of these organisations has had any editorial impact on the content of this report.

It has been put together by local volunteers, and follows more than a year of information gathering, analysis, discussions and meetings – many held in public – with parishioners in all five of the villages. As a result of this parish plan, it is hoped that future changes planned in the villages and surrounding environment will be informed and shaped by the people who live here.
