Historical Description
NEMPNETT THRUBWELL is a parish and village, 7 miles south-west from Pensford station on the North Somerset branch of the Great Western railway and 10 south-south-west from Bristol, in the Northern division of the county, Keynsham hundred, Clutton union, Temple Cloud petty sessional division and county court district, rural deanery of Chew, archdeaconry of Bath and diocese of Bath and Wells. The church of St. Mary the Virgin is an ancient edifice of stone, dating from the 13th century, all the present windows, however, being 15th century insertions; it consists of chancel, nave, south porch and a massive embattled western tower, with pinnacles, containing 5 bells: the south doorway is Norman: the east window is stained: the church was thoroughly restored in 1864 at a cost of £700, and in 1897 a new chancel and vestry were added as a memorial to a former rector and his wife: the new work is divided from the nave by a carved oak screen, with rood loft, adorned with statuettes of archangels, from designs by the late eminent architect Mr. Pugin, and was erected in memory of the Rev. Edward Wilton M.A. sometime incumbent of N. Bradley, Wilts, and his wife; the total cost was about £1,850: there are sittings for 160 persons. The register of baptisms dates from the year 1698; marriages, 1569, and burials from 1791. The living is a rectory, net yearly value £179, with two acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of trustees, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Henry Griffin Hellier, of Balliol College, Oxford; the benefice formerly formed part of the rectory of Compton Martin, but in 1859 was constituted a rectory under separate patronage by order of Her Majesty in Council. Here is a Baptist chapel. A sum of £50, left by the will of Madame Florence Baker, bearing date 3rd of April, 1714, has been lost.
Elton’s charity of £35, derived from about £1,173 Consols, is distributed in money. Knap Hill, in this parish, commands extensive and varied views of a wide range of country, the Mendip Hills, studded with villages, on the south; Lansdown and the upper part of the city of Bath, on the east; and the Channel, with Weston-super-Mare, on the west. In this parish is a large tumulus, or barrow, 60, yards in length, 20 in breadth and 15 in height, covered on its top with ash trees, briars and thick shrubs; it is composed throughout of a mass of stones, supported on each side lengthwise by a wall; the distance between the two walls is about 8 feet, and the intermediate space is filled up with two rows of cells or cavities, formed by very large stones set edgeways: these cells run from north to south, and are divided by vast stones placed on their edges and covered with others still larger by way of architrave: in one of these cells were found seven skulls, one quite perfect; in another a large heap of small human bones and horses’ teeth; no coins or other such relics have been discovered so as to mark the period at which this sepulchre was constructed, but it is undoubtedly one of the most important in Great Britain, and probably contains the remains of warriors slain in some prehistoric conflict; the stones have been used from time to time, during the last thirty years, in the burning of lime. Lady Cooper, of Pulteney street, Bath, who is lady of the manor, and the Bristol Charity Trustees are the principal landowners. The soil is clayey, stone brash and lime; the subsoil is clay. The land is chiefly in pasture, but some corn is grown. The area is 1,800 acres; rateable value, £2,312; the population in 1891 was 233 civil, 235 ecclesiastical.
By Local Government Board Order 14,992, March 24, 1884, Henmarsh was transferred from Winford to Nempnett Thrubwell, and under the provision of the “divided Parishes Act” (45 and 46 Vict. c. 58) Strode has been added to Winford from Nempnett Thurbwell.
The National School at the adjoining parish of Butcombe is endowed for the two parishes of Butcombe and Nempnett.
