modern address for the Lodge
Aylesmore Lodge, St. Briavels, Lydney GL15 6UQ

http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm?mapAction=gaz&gazName=g&...

The AYLESMORE estate in the south part of the parish belonged in 1670 to Edmund Bond of Walford (Herefs.) who settled it on the marriage of his second son Edmund. Mary, widow of the younger Edmund, sold her interest in 1707 to their son Edmund, (fn. 31) who was said to have a good house and estate c. 1710. (fn. 32) Edmund (d. 1743) devised it to his niece Mary, the wife of Richard Bond of Brockweir. Richard died in 1754 (fn. 33) and Mary before 1771, the Aylesmore estate passing to her daughters Frances, wife of John Prosser, and Elizabeth Eleanor Bond. The sisters sold it in 1797 to John Mudway, whose mortgagee Robert Williams gained possession in 1814 and sold the estate, then comprising c. 170 a., to Lawrence Peel of Manchester in 1820.

Peel bought Aylesmore for his son William Henry Peel, (fn. 34) who enlarged it to an estate of over 1,000 a. by purchases in St. Briavels and Hewelsfield. By 1840 he owned Aylesmore Court with Highgrove, Dunkilns (later Severn View), and New House farms in St. Briavels and Hewelsfield Court and Cowshill farms in Hewelsfield. (fn. 35) W. H. Peel died in 1872, and in 1876 his trustee sold the estate to Augustus Smith, whose mortgagee gained possession before 1881 and split up the estate. Highgrove farm with 197 a. in St. Briavels was bought by Robert Parnall, who sold it in 1892 to W. B. Marling of Clanna.

Aylesmore Court with the adjoining Hewelsfield Court farm was bought by John Macpherson and during the remainder of the 1880s and the early 1890s passed through a rapid succession of owners and their mortgagees. (fn. 36)

Before 1906 Aylesmore Court with a remnant of its estate was acquired by P. N. Palin (fn. 37) (d. 1933), whose widow Edith retained it (fn. 38) and was succeeded by her nephew Roger Fleetwood Hesketh. He sold it in 1952 to Mr. J. Arnott, who owned the house with c. 120 a. of land in 1991. (fn. 39)

Aylesmore Court, which stands at the south boundary of the parish, on the east side of Hewelsfield Lane, is a plain, square villa of the early 19th century, presumably built by the Peels soon after 1820. It was enlarged to the west by a service wing in the late 19th century. The substantial coach house and stable block (converted to dwellings in the 1980s) and the planting of the land to the south and west to form a small park evidently date from the rebuilding of the house, and there is a late 19th-century entrance lodge on the Chepstow road.

So your BOWEN was probably working for the PALINS in 1911.

Jun 2003

An eccentric woman who led an abstemious and quiet life has left a £2m fortune to fund bursaries at Eton.

Ursula Arnott, who died recently, lived at St Briavels in Gloucestershire and was well known to neighbours as she tended her cows and ran a local milk round.

The 86 year old was the last surviving member of her family.

After her death, the childless spinster's seven-bedroom manor house was found to be packed with valuable antiques.

Locals said the property had been badly neglected and suffered from damp.

They expressed surprise Ms Arnott had not sold the house and possessions to fund a comfortable retirement.

Rare books

Instead she decided to leave her estate, Aylesmore Court, to the Old Etonian Trust.

The money, which will be used to fund bursaries, will make a big difference to the trust, which had assets of £2.2m in 2002.

Ms Arnott's family had strong links to the school. Her father and brother Hughie were both educated there.

Her collection of silverware, clocks, paintings, rare books and jewellery fetched £300,000 at auction.

Among the valuable items was a rare early edition of John Milton's Paradise Lost.

The house, along with four cottages, is expected to sell for £1.5m.
