Clevedon Court was built in the early 14th century by one John de Clevedon, and added to over the years, with the Great Hall and St Peter’s Chapel being the earliest surviving parts of the building. It was purchased in 1709 by Abraham Elton, a former Sheriff of Bristol and prominent “merchant venturer” (slave trader). The Elton family’s improvements include a six-level, south-facing terraced garden.
The property is now owned by the National Trust, though the Elton family remains in residence there. The postcode, once it opens again to visitors, is BS21 6QU.
