Family names from various Bradford on Avon sources
The greatest impact on the
town at this time was the building of factories for powered machinery, some
major ones being … (inc) Greenland Upper Mill c.1804 (John Hinton, later Thomas Tugwell)
By the 1830's the cloth
trade was in decline. In 1841 the local bank failed, because it was very
heavily involved with two of the local mills. Many people were out of work and
it was said that 400 had to go to the workhouse.
Many factories closed during the next few years and the 1840s were a time of great depression. The only major textile company to survive this period was Edmonds & Co. of Abbey Mill.
Berryfield, or Bearfield,
House was built in the early 19th century. Bearfield is an area in the north of
the town. In the mid 19th century it was the home of Ezekiel Edmonds, Liberal M.P. and
Deputy Lord Lieutenant for Wiltshire,
(Saxon Church) Various members of the
Yerbury and Methuen families seem, from entries in surveys of the manor, to
have held our “little chapel,” and certain houses and lands annexed to it, as
copyholders under the lord of the manor for the time being. In the year 1712 it
was in the hands of Mr Anthony Methuen. At that time the Rev. John Rogers, the
vicar of the parish, opened a school for his poorer parishioners; and three
years afterwards Mr Anthony Methuen, as lessee, with the consent of the then
lord of the manor, granted what was really the nave and porch of our ecclesiola
as a “charity schoolhouse;” the chancel being still reserved, and then or
previously separated from the rest of the building by destroying the
chancel-arch, and then walling up the opening and inserting large
chimney-flues. The use to which it had been previously devoted is told us in
the deed by which it was conveyed to certain trustees. It is there described as
a “building adjoining to the churchyard in Bradford, commonly called or known
by the name of the Skull House,” from the fact, most probably, of its having
been used as a charnel-house. The chancel remained as part of the copyhold
described above, and was occupied as a gardener’s cottage. The property was subsequently enfranchised, and became the
possession in turn of members of the Methuen, Bethel, Bush and Edmonds families. From one of the last
named the Chancel was purchased early in 1872, for the purpose of
securing, at all events, a portion of so unique a church from future
desecration or injury.
Morgan's Hill Independent
Chapel, Bradford on Avon
In 1739 a group of Independents seceded from The Grove Meeting House and
in 1741 they were granted a licence for a new meeting house on Morgan's Hill
(now St Margaret's Hill). This house had been built in 1740 and was the same
width as the present building, but shorter, being about half the size of the
present one. The congregation were few in numbers, but
were very respectable and quite well off. There was never a large
congregation in the 18th century and it was not until the 19th century that it
increased substantially in size. The meeting house was enlarged in 1798, being
lengthened by 12 feet. In the early 19th century there
were several weavers among the congregation. A dispute, in 1815, arose
over whether the Trustees could appoint and dismiss the Minister and as a
result part of the meeting seceded and took over The Grove Meeting House.
(Quaker Mtg House) 1832 British
School agreement renewed with Ezekiel
Edmonds, Charles Cadby and William Taylor
(Baptists) An influential member and trustee of the chapel at the
end of the eighteenth century was John Hinton, a cloth manufacturer of Bradford and
a generous benefactor at the time of the rebuilding. In 1795 he accepted the
honorary pastorate of the Baptist church at Beckington, living in Bradford and
riding over every Sunday morning. The Sunday services at Beckington began with
a prayer meeting at 6 a.m. and included three preaching services. Hinton only
took two of these, returning to Bradford after the afternoon preaching. It is
recorded that 'Mr Hinton's ministry was marked by showers of blessing'. During
the twelve months up to May 1807 sixty-one persons were baptized. He resigned
his pastorate in 1815 and died in 1821. He was buried
in the Bradford chapel yard and left a legacy to the church.
This church was in 1901 endowed with the lease-hold of its
building, schoolroom, and burial-ground, the minister's house in St. Margaret's
Place, seven other houses (No. 18 St. Margaret's Street, Nos. 2 to 4 St.
Margaret's Place, and Nos. 5, 6, and 8 Beaconsfield Terrace, Trowbridge Road)
producing £67. "js. annually, and investments amounting to over £1,000
derived from the gifts of Mrs. Elizabeth Reyner (will proved 1765), Richard
Haynes (will proved 1768), the Revd. John Hinton (will dated 1815), and James Patch (will
dated 1846).
Pottick House (History) …We have noted that the poor rate and church
rate assessments, after remaining as quoted above intil June 1808, were both
increased at a reassessment in September. The new rates were –
1) a House which she herself occupied, of rateable value 3 1/4d, on which she was assessed to pay poor rate at 16s.3d and for church rate at 4s.1d For in that year the rates were 60 times and 10 times the rateable value respectively. This 3 1/4d house, quite a large one, must be Pot ticks House and its garden {numbered TA1895 in 'The Year of the Map').
2) land with rateable
value 3d which she occupied -this was TA1896 on the Map.
3) five houses
occupied by Wm.Hinton,
Wm Hooper, Wm.Lucas, John Bishop and the executors of John Byfield. Together
these 1/2d and 3/4d houses had a total rateable value of 3 1/4d and were TA
1894 on the Map…..

An extract from Rev. Jones History of Bradford on Avon, 1859:
Leland visited Bradford (1538-40), and in his Itinerary, ii. 54, (printed in the Wilts Archseological Mag., i. 148,) speaks of a rich clothier named ''Horton,' who (his words seem to imply) died no very long time before, his wife being yet alive. He may allude to the same person as the founder of the Chantry. He dwelt, according to Leland, in a house built by himself " at the north est part by the Chirch." He also built " a goodly large chirch house ex lapide guadrato at the est end of the chireh yard without it." I can have no doubt that the present work-shops, in what is called the Abbey yard, belonging to Messrs. Edmonds, formed part of Horton's house,

Greenland Upper Mill The Mill with the other
adjoining mills was owned by the Halls and then the Duke of Kingston who in
1718 is shown leasing it to Thomas Methuen. By 1804 it
had been bought by John Hinton,
and a factory had been built on the site. Thomas Tugwell, grandson of Humphrey
Tugwell, ran this factory from 1810 until 1825. By
1832, the tenants were Yerbury, Edmonds
and Company. In 1841, the factory was empty except for the fulling mill,
which was being occupied by Thomas Spackman junior. The
executor's of the owner- John Hinton
offered the factory for sale in 1844. From 1851 until 1905, J. W.
Applegate and Co. ran their woollen business from the premises
Greenland Lower Mill There is an early
reference to a Tucking Mill being occupied by John Yewe and Richard Horne in
1592 as part of the John Hall's Estate. Later a successor, the Duke of Kingston
let it and is referred to as the lower fulling mill. It was bought by John
Renison and William Shrapnell in 1797 from Lord Newark for £1,350. later John
Renison let his part of the Mill to Philip Shrapnell of Monkton Combe. By 1808
the rateable value had shot up from 3d to 2s1d, indicating that a factory had
been built by William and Philip Shrapnell as partners. But by 1811 it was taken over by Elimelech
Edmonds and Mawbey Tugwell at a rent of £460.
Mawbey died in 1815, but the firm known as Yerbury, Tugwell and Edmonds, remained there until 1824. In that year Edmunds assigned the remainder of the leasehold interest to Saunders, Fanner and Saunders, and moved his business to their larger factory in Church Street. Unfortunately the new firm went bankrupt in 1841, and it was not until after 1850 that it was bought by Stephen Moulton and added to his rubber works at the nearby Kingston Mill

HORTON HOUSE
(ref Nos 144 to 155 of
1841 Tithe map & Listings)
In the early 19th century
the entire property fell into the hands of the Edmonds
family (the last of Bradford's senior clothiers) with Abbey House
continuing to serve as their residence. . Horton's House meanwhile continued to
serve as their workshop, now being known as the Abbey Weaving Shops. With the
final collapse of the local cloth industry, and the restoration of the
neighbouring Saxon Church, the site was acquired in the 1870s by a surgeon, Dr
William Day Lovell, who improved Abbey House as his residence and converted
Thomas Horton's original four-room house to serve as his surgery and consulting
rooms. At the same time, the lower garden was extended by acquiring the
triangle of land immediately to the south of the Saxon Church (this was
possibly in exchange for land surrounding the Saxon Church which had previously
been owned by Edmonds).

Reminiscences of Bradford
50 Years Ago by an Old Bradfordian in America A Wiltshire Election 50 Years Ago
(Reproduced from the North Wilts Mercury for March 6th, 1885)
(Reproduced from the North Wilts Mercury for March 6th, 1885)
We have received the following interesting communication from
Mr. Daniel Batchelor of Utica, Oneida Co., New York. Mr Batchelor is a native
of Bradford, being born here in the Reign of George III. His communication is
dated February 17th, and is as follows: " I think it must be nearly 50
years ago that Ezliel
Edmunds or some other deft rhymster, posted in the Swan club room,
at Bradford, an election-eering rhapsody, the first verse of which, as near as
I can remember, was thus:
"The knight of Foremark he sprang from his bed
Where the gout had long confined him
And he swore that principle no more
Should in its trammels bind him
And "O, Corruption dear," he cried
Where the gout had long confined him
And he swore that principle no more
Should in its trammels bind him
And "O, Corruption dear," he cried
"Corruption, O my Charmer!
Do thou arise, be Thou my guide
Do thou arise, be Thou my guide
and buckle on my armour."
Nightly meetings were held at the Swan, where George Lucas, the
Schoolmaster, George Rolf, the Coppersmith, and Joey Collar, the Collector,
were the chief spokesmen, while ever and anon the portly frame, the handsome
face, and the eloquent voice of William Hale enlivened the scene. Sometimes Ezekiel Edmonds Junior, elegant in form and fiery in action, would
stir up the Reformers till the old club-room would reverberate his eloquent
words, "How dare the Westminster renegade, this hoary old turncoat, to ask
for the votes of the electors of North Wiltshire?"
Some Bath ringers came to Bradford in 1828 or 1829 and tried to
accomplish the great feat, but one hour and 20 minutes was enough for them.
Bradford fair too is gone, they say. When I was a devourer of gingerbread, the
stalls laden with that refection extended from the Swan Inn to Edmond`s factory in Church Street,
Extract from Wiltshire & Somerset Woollen Mills
by Ken Rogers
"The factory appears to have been empty for several
years, but in the later 1830s it was occupied by William Gee, for whom Hadens
did much work on clothing machinery and a steam-engine until 1840. The next
certain information comes from 1855 when there
was a sale of machinery for the benefit of the
creditors of Henry Edmonds.
Of the three scribbling and three carding engines he had, only one appears to
have survived from 1829. He also had two billies, four power jennies, two Lewis
cutters, an upright cutter by Davis, and three tuckers. The factory may not
have been worked for some years after this; in 1859 and 1861 James Rose
occupied part of it as a fuller."

250 years of Christian Worship in Bradford on Avon - an Abstact
from the book by Roger Mawby 1990
Several Baptist families attended our Church from 1843, one was
a surgeon, Channing Pearce, baptised here in 1811. His surgery was in St.
Margaret's Street, where he rented the house (now the Liberal Club), and its
large garden, paddock, coach house and stables, the latter being on Morgan's
Hill. William and Michal Long were his neighbours; these properties were owned
by General Shrapnell.
These were difficult years for the people of the town and district. Many clothiers were bankrupt with, or after the financial collapse of the Hobhouse Bank in Church Street in 1841. This effected everyone. Many of our congregation were either out of work, or those who were tradesmen and shopkeepers had less money, so the £89 owing to Charles Cadby from 1835 had not been paid. Gradually trade was improving, and the Edmonds' , who supported our church, were still in business, so Thomas Silcock managed to collect half the amount in 1846 and the Cadbys and Bulgins paid the remainder.
Mr. Stephen Moulton bought the empty woollen mills in 1848, and started the manufacture of rubber products, so from that time some of our congregation and members worked there…

The Quakers were at one time a numerous and influential
body in Bradford. Their first meeting-house seems to have been at Curnberwell
(or rather, Frankley) now converted into a School. They afterwards (1710) built
one in the court leading out of St. Margaret Street, and this, long disused by
them, has been occupied for some years past as a British School. [This is no
longer the case.] Many notices of interment in the " Cumberwell
burial-ground" (especially in the year 1701) arc to be seen in the Parish
Begister. In the year 1660 an attack was made upon them at Cumberwell, and one
Robert Storr sent, for being concerned in it, as a prisoner to Sarum. John Clark, a Bradford Quaker, held, in 1695, a public
disputation with a member of another section of non-conformists at Melksham, on
the premises of Thomas Bevan. William Penn was in the chair as moderator, and,
after the trial of skill had gone on for some time, closed the proceedings.
Amongst the Quakers of Bradford-on-Avon too is to be reckoned ' Joseph
Yerbury,' who lived at Well-close.
Trowbridge United Church The church has its origins in the meetings of pious people who
gathered around Mrs Joanna Turner, the daughter of a local clothier. At first
they met in each other's houses and then in the house of a preacher blacksmith.
Later Mrs Turner acquired a cottage as a meeting place and she replaced this
with a small chapel built at a cost of £500. In 1771 a proper chapel, measuring
40 feet by 30 feet was built at the cost of Mr and Mrs Turner. It was called
the Tabernacle in honour of George Whitfield and his Tabernacle at Moorfields
in London. The first minister was John Clark, a member of a local family of clothiers, and
both he and Mrs Turner had been Methodists. In 1780 John Wesley preached at the
church. There were substantial changes to this chapel - in 1785 a galley was
added for the Sunday school; in 1794 the chapel was doubled in width and houses
and land were put in trust for the church; in 1829 there was a congregation of
700 and between 1827 and 1837 side galleries were added. Many rooms were added
alongside the church through bequests from members - a new Sunday school in
1842, a new infant school in 1873, the Hadens built a new classroom in 1873 and
more were added in 1882. All this time the church was flourishing under Thomas
Mann (1839 - 94) and in 1884 the whole church was rebuilt on the same site with
sittings for 730. It is in the Perpendicular style by Paull and Bonella.The
graveyard had closed in 1856. In 1972 the Congregationalists and the
Presbyterians joined to form the United Reformed Chuch and on 26th February
1976 they joined with the Methodists to form the United Church. In Trowbridge
the Methodist from nearby Manvers Street moved to the Congregational Church
which was renamed the United Church.
The Society of Friends, DevizesThere were Quakers in the Devizes area in the
1650s and in 1658 Samuel Noyes, their leader, was prosecuted for 'brawling in
church'. A burial ground was acquired in 1665, probably in Hillworth Park,
where one existed in 1759. In 1669 there was a meeting in the house of John May
with attendances of 80-100 people. By 1682 John Clark's house was
licensed and others followed later. In
1702 a newly erected house at 23 High Street was certified for meetings and
this became the sole meeting place. Anglicans and other nonconformist
denominations helped in the building of this house.
During the 18th century many leading families in the town were Quakers and the meetings were also attended by non Quakers. In the 1790s there were about 30 Friends and the meeting house remained in use until 1826. The meeting then lapsed and the house was sold in 1840. The meeting revived in 1853 and the old meeting house was re-purchased in 1858, remaining in use until the 1870s. The meeting was discontinued in 1879 and the house was again sold in 1884. It was re-occupied between 1903 and 1907 by a small number of Friends.

Baptist Chapel,
(Crockerton, Longbridge Deverill)
The local Baptist William Adlams was active in this area from 1656 and
Crockerton was to the Warminster area what Southwick was to the Trowbridge
area. The Baptist community seems to date from 1669 and was the focus for
activity in the neighbourhood. The house of William Adlams was licensed for
worship in 1672, the house of Christopher Adlam in 1701, and that of Samuel
Lewis in 1704. Soon after this the chapel was built. It is a simple building of
coursed rubble stone, moulded stone eaves and an old tile roof. There were 200
sittings and the early pulpit and desk have been retained. The first minister, John Clark, used to walk 7 miles
from Frome every Sunday to take the service. He lived until the age of 92. The
19th century saw the additions of a schoolroom and house and the church was
thriving during this period. The congregation began to decrease in the 20th
century, especially after the Second Wolrd War, and the chapel eventually
closed in 1979
