Westbury on Trym info
Westbury on Trym is a suburb
in north Bristol, near Horfield and Southmead,
in the southwest of England.
As is suggested by its name, the River Trym passes
through Westbury on Trym: the name of the river
was added to the place name because there are
several places called Westbury in England. Southmead
Hospital is located in the area.
The recorded origins of Westbury on Trym are
older than those of Bristol itself. At the end
of the 8th century, King Offa of Mercia granted
land at Westbury to his minister, Aethelmund.
Later there was a monastery at Westbury, probably
initially a secular one, with married clergy.
This changed towards the end of the 10th century
when Oswald, in whose diocese the monastery lay,
sent a party of 12 monks to follow more stringent
rules at the Westbury monastery. The architect
Ednoth constructed a new church and other buildings.
The monastery became a college with a dean and
canons at the end of the 13th century. It was
rebuilt in the mid 15th century to resemble a
miniature castle with turrets and a gatehouse.
The Royalist Prince Rupert of the Rhine used it
as his quarters during the English Civil War because
it was in good condition at the time. When he
left, in 1643, he ordered it to be set on fire
so that the Parliamentarians could not make use
of it. It was restored in the 20th century and
the grounds were adapted for housing elderly people.
About Bristol
Bristol is an English city and
county and one of the two administrative centres
of South West England (the other being Plymouth).
From its earliest days, its prosperity has been
linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial
port which originated in the city centre, but
which has now migrated to the Bristol Channel
coast. Bristol extends to this coast and includes
Avonmouth, where much of the current port is located.
Notable areas in and surrounding the city include
Clifton, Filton and Patchway. (These last two
areas are outside the present city boundary, in
South Gloucestershire.)
Bristol is England's eighth, and the United Kingdom's
eleventh, most populous city. It had been, for
half a century, the second largest English city
after London,
until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Manchester
and Birmingham, in the 1780s.
