Download or read book Bristol Historic Homes written by Lynda J. Russell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bristol, originally known as West Woods, formed later than other Colonial towns. Bristol's mother town of Farmington was settled in 1640 and became a town in 1645, but pioneers did not lay out the remote and unpopulated section of Farmington until 1721. The Jerome, Matthews, and Lewis families created the New Cambridge Parish in 1742, and it was this parish that separated from Farmington and finally formed the town of Bristol in 1785. In Bristol Historic Homes, readers will meet these families and other important figures, such as Ebenezer Barns. Barns built the first permanent home in 1728, and this structure later became a tavern and community center. Through wonderfully preserved vintage photographs, this volume shows how an agricultural community grew and prospered as a variety of skilled tradesmen brought hard work and vision to this beautiful area.

Download or read book Montpelier written by Mary Wright and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MONTPELIER enjoys a rooted reputation as the Bohemian quarter of Bristol - artistic, unconventional and socially diverse. Which makes it all the more surprising that this, one of the city's oldest suburbs, is one of the few whose history has never been written. Thus the appearance of this important new book fills a big gap in the published history of Bristol. Drawing upon many primary sources, the author provides a comprehensive account of Montpelier's origins and development over the centuries. From its roots in Ashley, then rural Gloucestershire, the first part of the book describes its lands, its early houses and their owners. One of those houses played a pivotal role in the Civil War and the book contains a graphic account of the Second Siege of Bristol. In the 18th century, Montpelier emerged from Ashley as a named place with its own character. Essentially an early, rather isolated Georgian suburb, it acquired some fame, even notoriety, for the recreation and entertainment provided at Rennison's Grand Pleasure Baths, its gardens and the Old England Tavern. The Victorians brought economic and social changes transforming the elegant semi-rural suburb into a built-up, densely populated part of Bristol's inner city. The 20th century saw a decline in Montpelier's status, exacerbated by the blight cast by ambitious post-war road building schemes. More positively, the author describes the intensive, spirited and well-publicised campaigns waged by local people against the authorities. Those same people will be fascinated by this book, with its very readable narrative and splendid illustrations. Indeed, it will have strong appeal to a much wider readership, not only throughout the Bristol area, but also far beyond.
