Cliff Court Drive

27/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Cliff Court Drive is built in the grounds of a house called Cliff Court. It was previously called Cabin Cliff. In 1779 it was occupied by Mrs Gwynn and her two daughters Henrietta and Helena. Her husband, who died in 1772, was a privateer commander and is buried in the Unitarian churchyard.

It had a number of owners and tenants and was finally owned by C.H.B. Elliott who wrote the definitive history of Frenchay.

He sold it and it was demolished. Due to a clerical error over boundaries the house was excluded from the list of listed buildings in Frenchay, which might have prevented the demolition.
