DIRECTORY.] \VILTSHIRE. BRADFORD-ON-AVON. 33 BR AD F 0 R D-0 N -A V() N. BRADFORD-OX-A. VON is a parish, market and union to"n, situated on the Somersetshire border, on the river Avon and on the Kennet and Avon canal, with a station on the Salisbury, Weymouth and Bath branch of the Great "\,Yestern railway, 102 miles from London by road and 100 by railway, 8 south-e-ast from Bath, 3 northeas·t from Trowbridge, 5 south-we.st from Melksham, 12 west from Deviz·es and 12 north from "\Varminster,- in the Wes·tern division of the county, hundred and petty sessional division of Bradford, rural deanery of Potterne (Bradford portion), archdeaconry of Wilts and diocese of Salisbury. The town is built within a reoess, on the abrupt declivities of the sides. Qf a rocky hill, and the most ancient parts are laid out in a succession of terraces, rising one above another tn the very summit of the hill, from one of which, caHed Tory Rank, the views are very picturesque, and the prospect is extensive and de,lightfully varied; in the valley beltlw stands the fine old parish church; near to its base, after emerging from between the hills, flows the river Avon, its banks dotted with factories : on the west, and under the side of Grip Hill, is a fine nld barn, called " Barton Barn,'' formerly belonging to the, "Grange,'' or principal farm of the Abbess of Shaftesbury: on the east is the greater portion of the town, while in the foreground may be seen the villag.e of Hilperton, and the town of Trowbridge, with Westbury Down and the Wiltshire hills in the distance·. Bradford means the " broad fnrd " over the rivE'r, and was inhabit.ed as early as the time of the Roman occupation of this part of the country. The town was a place of some consequenoe even in the time of the \Vest Saxons, being the· site, of a, monastic institution, founded by St. A.ldhelm in 705 ; it ·wa,s given to the nunnery at Shaf'tesbury in wor. In 954 St. Dunstan was elected Bishop of Worcester at a synod held at Bradford: this town was privileged to send members to, Pa.rliament, but this right was. not exercised more than once : a portion of the town still bears the appellation of the BorGugh of Bradford, but whether it was ever incorporated and had a separate jurisdiction seems to be unknown. The river Avon is here crossed by two bridges, and on one that crosses in the centre of the town is a s'tone building with a square domical roof, once a chapel, where pilgrims offered at once devotions and alms. Near this, to the west, is the ancient ford by which .the town was approached; at tirne·s it can be crossed dry-shod. The other bridge, called Barton Bridge, with four arches, is lower down the stream. Bradford is considered to be a very pleasing, exceedingly picturesque and very healthy town, well defended from the north and east winds, while all impurities, after passing down its sloping streets, are immediately carried off by the waters of the Avon: the houses are mostly gable-fronted, built with stone, and roofed with the same mate.rial. The streets are generally narrow and irregular, but, in some instances, they have been widened and improved. In 1834 the town was lighted with gas by a company, and on the 15th of July, 1839, the " Bradford Town Improvement Act " rece,ived the Royal Assent ; this has been superseded und·er the "Local Government A.ct, 1894.'' by an Urban District Council. Waterworks, the property of the Council, were erected in 1883: the adits, situated a.t A.voncliff, yield a copious supply of pure spring water, which is pumped thence into the reservoir at the top of the hill between \Vinsley and Bradford: the town is supplied by gravitation: the cost of 'the works was £12,ooo, and they were opened in October, 1883, by 0 Miss Hobhouse, daughter of Sir Charles Parry Hobhouse, the lord of the manor and then chairman of the Town Improvement Commissioners. The church of the Holy Trinity is an ancient and handsome structure in the Norman, Early English and Perpendicular styles ; it consists of a chancel with reredos, nave of five bays, north aisle, chapel and south porch, and has a square western tower, with an embattled parapet, and surmounted by a low short spire of disproportionate dimensions: the tower contains a fine peal of 8 bells, and a set of chimes playing the tunes of " Hanover " and the " Sicilian Mariners' Hymn" every three hours, and having a clock : there are many old tombs, of which the most remarkable are· in the chancel: on the south side, within a niche, is the mutilated recumbent figure of a knight in armour: on the north side is a niche containing the full-length effigy of a lady : there· is a brass in the chancel to Roger Deverell (d. 1546), and his wife and son 'Michael Deverell (d. 1627), and John Deverell (d. 1726); also a bra.ss to Anne, daughter of John Yewe (d. 1601), and others to Lieut.-General Henry Shrapnel, Col. Commandant 6th Battalion of Artillery (d. 1842 ), and to D. Clutter buck (d. 1769) : in the north aisle is. an ancient brass to Thoma,s Horton and Mary his wife, the date is left in blank : some stained windows were presented many years ago by John Ferret esq. a na.tive of this town: about 1855 an east window was put in, and more recently the stained west window of the tower, and a stained window has been placed at the east endl of the north aisle to the memory of Emanuel Taylor, his wife, and oniy daughter, he having been churchwarden Qver twenty years: in 1888 a stained window was placed in the north aisle to the memory of Canon Rich-Jones, the late vica,r : in 1893 a stone dwarf screen, with wrought iron entrance gates, separating the chancel from ·the nave, was erected in memory of the Rev. Baldwin Francis Leighton B. A.. sometime hon. curate: there are sittings for 637 persons : in the churchyard, opposite the door on the- south side of the chancel, is a very ancient tomb, highly decorated. The register dates from the year 1565. The living is a vicarage, tithes commuted at £391, average £297, net income £228, with residence, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Sydney Garbett Collisson, who is a surrogate. Christ Church is an ecclesiastical parish, formed in 1843; the church, a building of stone, was erected in 1840, at Bearfie.ld, within the town: it is in the Perpendicular style, consisting of a chancel, with a reredos and nave, south porch with a western tower, lofty spire and one bell: the chancel was added from designs by the late Sir G. Gilbert Scott R.A.. at a cost of j,2,ooo: there is a stained east window and eight others: in 1884 the church was re-seated with oak benches, the floors re-laid with patent wood blocks, and! the approaches laid with God win's encaustic tiles: the work was carried out under the direction of the architect, Mr. John Oldred Scott M. A.. London: an oak screen, separating the chanceil. from the nave, and an organ chamhe,r were added in 1891: there are soo sittings. The register dates from the year 1842.

The Armoury of the 1st Wilts (E Company) Volunteers, which was embodied in 186o and now numbers about 92 efficient members, is in Silver street. The Fire Brigade consists of a superintendent and 12 members, who have a manual 0 engine. Bradford was at one time the central rtown in the west of England for the manufacture Qf superfine broadcloths, but a.t the present time there are only two factories at work: this business is known to have been carried on heTe to some extent in the time of King Edward I. Edward Ill. invited clothworkers to repair to England out of foreign parts, to whom he granted sundry privileges. A.nthony Methuen, the ancestor of the present Lord Methuen, of Corsham House, was the WILTS. 3

[KELLY'S first to improve upon the old: mode of cloth-making by introducing into Bradford, in 1740, opemt·ives tram 1<1anders, in ordeir to manufacture superfine broadcloth. It is said that the town of Bradford, in Yorkshire. was founded liy natives of tliis place. There are works here for the production of india rubber goods; two banks and two breweries and t•wo foundries, and several quarries from which good building stone is obtained. The market days for provisions are Saturdays. The fairs are-one in Bradford on Trinity Monday, for cattle~ horses and peddle.ry; one also at Bradford Leigh, on the first Monday after the 24th August, except when Monday falls on the 24th, then on that day Lord Chancellor Bethell, afterwards Lord WeS~tbul'y, was born at Westbury house, in St. Margaret street. ln the Frame road are two almshouses-one for four poor men, founded! by John Hall esq. the last of an ancient family who had been inhabitants of this town since the reign of Edward I. ; his arms, crest and motto are over the doorway-motto, " Deo e•t pauperibus '' (for God and the poor), date 1700: this interesting building was entirely restored in 1891-3, by the late H. Moulton '·esq. who, by his will, further endowed it with a sum of £I,ooo: each inmate receives ss. per week: the other, for poor old women, was rebuilt from designs by C. S. Adye esq. in 1868 and added to by the same architect in 1878: it is a very ancient charity, endowed with lands in the neighbourhood that once belonged to the monastery of Shafresbury; this charit.y is in the pa.tron- ;age of the lord of the manor, and ha;o;, by the erection • .of a fourth almshouse, been restored to its original .size: four old women enjoy the benefits of this endowment, and each receives 4s. weekly. The charities for , distribution amount to .£64 8s. John Curl, of Turieigh, by will dated 1703, gave £3o yearly out of the rents of his estate at Churton to be , distributed on the Feast of St. Thomas t·o 120 poor persons, ss. each, of Bradford, '¥insley, Leigh and Woolley; Mrs. Elizabeth Tugwell left in 1799 j, Too stock, the interest to be given to 40 old and infirm ,persons; Samuel Cam left in 1792 [,wo stock, the interest to be given to the poor in bread; Mrs. Charlotte Amelia Beaven left £so, the interest to be given in bread on Christmas Day; Edward Thresher left £wo . stock, which is now increased to £2oo; John Strawbridge left £4oo in Consols, the interest of these charities to be given to the poor in crowns· and half-crowns. There are the remains of many· ancient edifices, both , -of a priva.te and also of an eccle.siastical charaoter, in and about the town, such as the Saxon Church, Priory, Chantry House, Tory Hermitage, besides others, which fmm lapse of time, their dilapidated condit·ion, or partial incorporation with other buildings, cannot now be specified by name, their foundations, as well as their subsequent his.tory, alike being lost. Of these t.he Saxon church is the most interesting; Professor Edmund A. Freeman, in " English Towns and Districts," says " It is probably the only perfect surviving church of its kind in England, if not in Europe," and is believed to be the ·ecc~esiola, or little churoh, atta.ched to the monastery before mentioneq as founded by St. Aldhelm, and which is mentioned by Willi.rum of Malmesbury as standing in hls time, A.D. nzo, although the monastery has been de8troyed: it owes its discovery to the archreological intelligence of the late vicar, the Rev. Oanon William Henry Rich-Jone.s M.A. who, standing on Tory Rank about 185 8 and looking down on the roofs of the town, observed that the outlilne of the three roofs of a very old • building was of an ecclesiastical character, and that the roofs were apparenbly those of the chancel, nave and porch of a church ; at tha.t time the building was so surrounded by other structures and by the accumulation of the dirt of centuries, to the height in some places of six feet above the foundations, that it was difficult to form an accurate judgment on the subject: the building has been purchased and vested in trustees, of whom the Hev. the Hon. S. Meade, of this town, is one: the .surrounding objects have been cleared away, and the proportions of this old building fairly displayed: the existing porch is on the north side, but there appears to have been a similar one to the south, so that the church was cruciform; t<he workmanship is of a rude ch'lracter; the most striking feature is the great height of the building as compared with its length and breadth: the nave is 25 feet by 13, and 25 high; the chancel is 13 feet by 10, and 18 feet high; the porch is 10 feet sc1uare and 15 feet high; and the opening from the chancel to the nave is rat<her a doorway than an arch, being 2 feet wide and 8 feet high; some progress has been made in the restoration of the church and the reconst.ruction of th~ archwa.vs, which has been as.sisted by the fact that many of the original stones have been found, either embedded in the rubbish or worked into the ()ther buildings, and these have been replaced in their original posit-ions ; it has heen so far restored as to admit of service being held in t-his ancient building. The 'Hermit-age or Tory Chapel stands on Tory Rank, the highest part of the town, and in 1869, being then in a very dilapidated state, passed into the hands of the late T. B. Sounders esq. of the Priory, who restored it, w~bh great taste and judgment and at considerable expens·e, and it was -opened again for public worship in 1871: this building is mentioned by Leyland in his "Hinerary 1' in 1533, and it is also mentioned by .Aubrey as foll()ws :-"On the top o,f the north hill, above Mr. Methwyn's, is the finest herm~tage I have seen in England, several roomes and a very neat chapel of freestone." Previous to the restoration the interi-or was excavated to the depth of Io feet below the floor: the east window remains as it was in Aubrey's time, with the excephion of new mullions and repaired tracery; the other windows have been designed from parts of the former window, pieces of wlrich were found when the ruins were explored: the nidhe on the south side of the east window has been simply restored, and the one on the north side, wit'h the exception of the shaft and the canopy, is new, being made t.o correspond with the other~ the north porch is also new, except the holywater stoup, which was found in exoava·ting the interior ()f the chapel : the cross ove·r t~he eastern window has been restored, the upper po'I'tion of it having been found amongs't the ruins: the building is cruciform, and almost immediately above the Lady w.ell, from which circuiDISttance it has now been called St. Mary's Chapel, in addition to the name of Tory Chapel: there is a traditrion that a subterranean passage existed from the Hermitage, 00njectured to have 1ed t.o the old buildings (which belonged to bhe Abbey of Shaftesbury) in the churchyard and Barton Farm: the east window containll three lights, having Our S.aviour in the centre, St. Peter on the one hand, and St. Paul on the ot.her, above '\';'hich is the monogram I.H.S. witih angels on either side: the window in the south porch represents St. J oseph, with the infant Jesus in his arms, and St. John the Baptist ; the shield above represents the Lamb and Book with the Sev·en Seals. There are many good residences in and about Bradford, also some ltarge and ancient mansions ; one amongst the number was once the residence of the notorious Duchess of Kingston, and is known as Kingston House, but n()w called The Hall, its original name : it was beaut~fully restored, in strict accordance with its original design, by the late S. Moulton esq. J.P. and is now the re.sidence of John Moulton esq. Leigh House is the seat of LGrd Edmond Fitzmaurice J.P. ; the mansion, plea.sanUy situated, stands in a park and grounds of 16 acres. Bradford Old Priory is the residence of Frederick Thomas Saunders esq.; the mansion was built in the 1Stlh century. Berryfield House, standing in a park of about 6o acres, is the residence of Mrs. Palmer. Fmrukleigh House i•s the stlat of the Rev. the Hon. Canon Sidney Meade J.P.; the mansion, built about the time of James I. stands in a park and grounds of about 220 acres. Nocf:lhleigh is the seat of George L. Lopes esq. D.L., J.P.; the mansion stands in a park and grounds of about 40 acres; and Woodleigh, standing .iJn a park of 16 acres, is the residence of Edward Mallinson J.P. Sir Charl·es Parry Hobhouse bart. of Monkton Far~ leigh, is lord of the manor. The prinC'ipal landownel's .are Francis Atkinson esq. Rev. the Hon. Canon Sidney Meade, Earl Manvers, George Lionel Palmer esq. and Frederick Tholllil.s Saunders esq. The soil is aerolite; subSJOil, clay; the ohief crops are wheat and grass. The whole parish ()riginally covered 10,036 acres, but the County Council have (1895) divided it into five viz: ilradford Urban and Without Holt, South WroxaH and Winsley; the area of the urban is 1,962 acres ; the whole of the original parish is included in the rateable value, [,?,6,735; the popuLation in 1891 was 4,943 in the town. The population of the ecclesiastical parish of Holy Trinity in 1891 was 3,522, and of Christ Church, 1,766. Atworth, formerly a tithlng, was, by an order of the Local Government Board, dated 19t'h December, 1884, amalgamated with Great and Little Obalfield and Cot .. ties, to form the civil parish of Atworth, and will be found under the heading of Atworth. Bradford Leigh, Woolley and Trowle are tithings. South ·wroxall, a tithing, has been formed into a separate parish, and will be found ~nder the head-

DIRECTORY.l 'VILTSHIRE. C.ALNE. 49 - On the 24th of October, 1882, a disastrous flood, supposed to have been occasioned; by an unusual storm of 1·ain on the hills, occurred here, during which the water rose to the height of 4ft. ~n. at the post office: from about 6 a·.m. until I p.m. gradually subsiding until 6 p.m. when the usual level of the stream was reached. The principaJ landQiwners are the Marquess of Lansdowne, who is lord! (}f the manor, Sir John Poynder Dickson-Poynder bart. M.P. Lord Houghton and Major Clement Walke1·-Heneage V.C. The soil is chiefly sandy, except in the valleys, which dip into the Oxford clay. The parish of Calne occupies a part of the middle oolite series of rocks, and contains all the members of that goological division-coral, rag, coarse sandstone, alternating- with beds of clay and sand. The lower greensand and Kimmeridge clay are found on the eastern side of the parish, immediately over}ying the middie oolite; the l'oniand beds being absent and the chalk occurring in the extreme portion (}f the parish to the east. A. bed of the coral rag containing a coarse kind of freestone is worked in the town, and affords a tolerably good bm~ding stone : this bed is famQiUS for the remains of echinidm (sea-urchins, star-fishes &c.), and other fossiis found in it. The land in the district is chiefly in pasture, but not entirely so, there being a considerable portion of the sandy soil under the plough. Wheat and beans are gro<wn on the heavier portion, and barley and roots on the lighter. The Marquess of Lansdowne has a large tract let on the all()tment system. The area of Calne "Within is 356 acres; rateable value, £ I0,253; the population in 1891 was 3,495, including 86 officers and inmat·es in the workhouse. Sexton, Henry Henly.
