According to Victoria county history Martin Wintle bought Court Farm from the Colchesters in 1879 & it was sold to Glos county council in 1919. Martin Wintle evidently took over the drapers business from James Wintle ( 3 Bridge Parade, Bristol) & diversified into trading as a horse clothing dealer ( see Kelly's directory, Bristol 1902 - Historical directories).

Any more suggestions on the drapers connections?
