Historical Description
The village of Clevedon. The rocks here run from the shore with prodigious grandeur, and to a great height. The ride to this village, over the hill from Leigh Down, is justly esteemed the finest in the county.
CLEVEDON, a fashionable watering-place and winter resort for invalids, pleasantly seated on a declivity at the south-west extremity of a long range of hills on the shores of the Severn mouth overlooking the Bristol channel, the islands called Steep Holme and Flat Holme, and the mountains of Glamorgan and Monmouth, is a parish and small town with a terminal station on a branch of the Great Western railway from Yatton, and is 4 miles north from Yatton, 15 north from Weston-super-Mare, 16 west from Bristol, 36 from Taunton and 134 from London, 11 miles by water from Newport and 15 from Cardiff on the opposite shore, and is in the Northern division of the county, Bedminster union, Portbury hundred, Long Ashton petty sessional division, Bristol county court district, rural deanery of Portishead, archdeaconry of Bath and diocese of Bath and Wells. The town, which stands at the western extremity of a hill, has acquired its present popularity on account of the bathing facilities it affords, and the rich and romantic scenery with which it is surrounded: the air is mild and salubrious, the place being protected from the north and east winds by the hills, the climate is in consequence remarkably free from sudden changes, and the myrtle, arbutus and other delicate shrubs flourish here abundantly. The rocks and hills rise to a majestic height, and on the highest point of the downs overlook a vast extent of land and water; at various points they are interrupted by deep and picturesque ravines and at others they are precipitous, thickly wooded and presenting delightful variations of scenery; on the top of some of the hills are the remains of lead mines, and the ore is now frequently found near the surface. The streets are wide, and lined with trees, and the footpaths are asphalted: there are many good shops, a large number of villa residences, several excellent hotels, and numerous boarding, lodging and refreshment houses. The Beach, which is the chief promenade, is half a mile in length. A tramway line runs between Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare. The pier, erected in 1869 by the Clevedon Pier Co. was acquired in 1891 by the Clevedon Local Board, and thoroughly repaired and enlarged and a timber landing stage erected, the whole work being carried out from plans by Mr. G. N. Abernethy C.E. of Westminster, at a total cost of £10,000, and it was reopened by Lady Elton, 3 April, 1893; it is now 850 feet in length, the head being 100 feet long and 50 feet wide.
The town was formerly governed by a Local Board of Health of nine members, formed Feb 11, 1853, but, under the provisions of the Act of 1894, it is now controlled by an Urban District Council of 15 members, and is well lighted with gas and supplied with water by a company formed in 1865.

The Cemetery of 3 acres, in Old Church road, was formed in 1882 at a cost of £1,600; it contains one mortuary chapel, and is under the control of the Urban District Council, acting as the burial board.

Clevedon Court, the seat of Sir Edmund Harry Elton bart. J.P. who is lord of the manor and chief landowner, is stated by Buckley to be “unquestionably the most valuable relic of Early Domestic architecture in England,” and is one of the few old manor houses that continue to be used as such: dating from the time of Edward II. it was restored in the Tudor period, and though it has since received many additions and alterations, so much of the old building remains that the original arrangements can be clearly made out, and many of the rooms and offices are almost perfect: the south front is in fine preservation, and with its traceried windows, quaint gables, and variously-ornamented chimney-shafts and picturesque turrets, is an excellent specimen of an old English residence: the entrance porch retains the original doorways and mouldings, with grooves for the portcullis, which was worked in the room above, and at the other end of the passage is a similar porch: between these, on the right, are three doorways opening from the screens to the buttery, pantry and kitchen: the great hall, slightly modernized, is a noble apartment, lighted by a richly decorated window on the south, and retaining the oak panelling, screen work, and carved chimney-piece of the Tudor period, and hung with family portraits and armour: a newel staircase leads from the south-west angle to the “ladye’s bower,” which opens into the upper part of the hall, and behind, where the dais stood, above a large room (now the library), is the solar, or lords chamber: on the western front, the modern dining and drawing rooms open through bay windows and conservatories on to the lawn and gardens. Remains of a fortification may be traced, but this was constructed more to ward off marauders than to stand a siege, the position of the court, at the base of a steep declivity (now richly clothed with shrubberies), being unfavourable to defence. By a disastrous fire here on November 7th, 1882, all the modern part of the mansion was destroyed, but has since been rebuilt. The grounds of Clevedon Court are open to the public every Thursday. Clevedon Hall, now (1901) unoccupied, is a fine mansion, standing in spacious grounds; Claremont is the residence of William Jerdone Braikenridge esq. J.P.
