Historical Description

Keynsham, a small market-town on the banks of the Avon, over which it has a handsome stone bridge of fifteen arches. The Church is a large Gothic structure, but contains nothing remarkable. Here is a good Charity School, where children of both sexes are taught to read and write. The trade consists chiefly in making malt, great quantities of which are sold to the people of Bristol, Bath, and other places.

In this town was a priory of canons regular, built and endowed by William Earl of Gloucester, about the year 1171; but scarce any remains of it are now to be seen. It remained till the general dissolution of religious houses, when its annual revenues amounted to 429l. 14s. 3d. The weekly market is on Thursday.

About five miles from Bath, on the left, are the remains of Farley Castle, supposed to have been built by one of the Mountforts; but in the reign of Richard II. it came into the family of Sir Robert Hungerford, whose descendants enjoyed it, with other manors in this county, till the beginning of the reign of Henry VIII., when, failing of heirs male, it came, by marriage of the heiress, to the noble family of Hastings. — Great part of the ruins of this castle still remain, from which it appears to have been originally a place of considerable strength.

Topography of Great Britain (1829) by George Alexander Cooke

KEYNSHAM is a town and parish, head of a union and petty sessional division, formerly a market town, on the southern bank of the river Avon, at its confluence with the Chew, and on the borders of Gloucestershire, on the road between Bath and Bristol, with a station on the main line of the Great Western railway, 114 miles from London, 6 ½ north-west from the former city and 4 ½ south-east from the latter. The parish is in the Northern division of the county, hundred of Keynsham, county court district of Bristol, rural deanery of Keynsham, archdeaconry of Bath and diocese of Bath and Wells. The parish church of St. John the Baptist is a spacious building of stone, in the Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular styles, and was appropriated to the abbey as early as 1292: it consists of chancel, nave of eight bays, aisle, south porch and a western tower, with pinnacles, containing 8 bells, and a clock erected in 1721 and restored in 1875: the east window and three others are stained: in the chancel is a double piscina and several monuments of the Brydges family, ancestors of the Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, dating from 1587: the chancel is Early English, the north aisle Perpendicular and the south aisle Decorated: the east end of the south aisle forms a chapel, now used as an organ chamber and vestry, and is separated by a handsome Perpendicular carved screen: there is also a screen, erected temp. Charles I. and interesting as being one of the latest existing examples of the Stuart period: the lofty tower is of mixed Perpendicular and Debased work; the original tower was thrown down and the nave and north aisle damaged by a terrific thunderstorm Jan. 13th, 1632: the restoration of the church was completed in 1863, and in 1883 the organ was restored at a cost of £250: there are 850 sittings.

There are also almshouses for four aged married couples, founded in 1885 in memory of Alfred Milward. The abbey of Keynsham, which stood to the south-east of the present parish church, was founded, according to Dugdale, between the years 1120 and 1172, by William, Earl of Gloucester, for Black Canons regular of St. Austin, and was dedicated to the honour of God, the Blessed Virgin and St. Peter and St. Paul: it was one of the greater religious houses, and its yearly revenue at the Disolution was valued at £469: a considerable portion of the fabric was used in building the tower of the parish church, and for repairs, but the almonry and barn still exist. The principal landowners are R. D. Commans esq. of Macaulay House, Widcombe, Bath, who is lord of the manor; Thomas Courtenay Theydon Warner esq.
