Product Information

Also in the 18th century the Horners started to build and extend Mells Park; the present Reading Room (which had been an inn, The Bull, from at least the 15th century) was turned into a Magistrate’s Court. A Mells man, Joseph Clavey, started a weekly transport service to London, The Flying Wagon; and the Fussells began their path to fortune by building their various iron works in and around Mells (although the edge tool industry was in fact started in Mells by the Hoddinott family in 1690).

I had been dying to visit Chavenage House for an age and I finally was able to do it on my recent visit to Tetbury. A Saxon village existed around the upper pond at Branch, Saxon jewellery has been found in the Iron Valley and even a ceremonial Danish axehead. In 942 AD the Saxon King Edmund granted land at Mells to Count Athelstan who in turn gave it to Glastonbury Abbey. It was Glastonbury that built most of the medieval part of the village, including the Tithe Barn, Bilboa House, New Street, Selwood House and part of The Talbot inn. Whether it's a walk in the country with your dog, a stroll around a quaint Cotswolds village or a trip to Bristol, you can relax in one of the hotel's three bars and restaurantafter your day out. A real ale, fine wine or premium lager awaits, as does great food at fantastic prices. You can choose from a range of pub classics and seasonal dishes. There's a large beer garden ideal for long summer days and a kids' play area that will keep the little ones entertained. And when you wake up the next day, you can choose from a Full English or a continental breakfast. The Horners tend to feature prominently in the area from the early 16th century. In 1535 John Horner bought Nunney, Cloford and Trudoxhill, and in 1543, four years after the dissolution of the monasteries Thomas Horner bought all of Glastonbury’s lands in Mells, Leigh and Nunney from Henry VIII. Before his arrest – and eventual execution on Glastonbury Tor – for his resistance to Henry, Abbot Richard Whiting spent his last night in his ‘favourite’ Mells, possibly at the Manor or at Bilboa House, where his niece lived. The estate passed to a Horner nephew who had married Meriel Malte, the daughter of Henry VIII’s tailor, an heiress in her own right of neighbouring lands.

Nearby Westonbirt is home to the National Arboretum - famous in the autumn, but actually a terrific year-round attraction.

Several British villas (200 BC-400 AD) are located on the south slopes of the down and there are Roman camps on Newbury Hill and in Hobblyground field to the north of the Manor House. The remains of a Roman village has been found along the stream from Branch Farm to the ruined cottage at Quarry Close.
