Limpley Stoke history

---

Limpley Stoke was the westernmost part of the ancient hundred of Bradford, and a tithing of Bradford parish, which was divided into civil parishes in 1894. A small Baptist chapel was built on Middle Stoke in 1815 and rebuilt in 1888, providing 150 seats. The Hop Pole, dating from the 17th century, was used in the filming of The Remains of the Day.

Canals and railways

The Kennet and Avon Canal was built in 1804 through the Avon valley, on the other side of the parish boundary. The Somerset Coal Canal opened in 1805; it followed the Midford Brook, again just beyond the border. In 1857 the Great Western Railway built their branch from Staverton Junction, north of Trowbridge, via Bradford on Avon to join their main line at Bathampton. Limpley Stoke station was below the north end of the village.

Farleigh House Farleigh House, or Farleigh Castle, is a large English country house in Somerset. It was built and extended during the 18th and 19th centuries and until 1970 served as the centre of a country estate owned by the Houlton family. In 1970 it was sold to be used as a prep school called Ravenscroft School. After this closed in 1996, the house was leased from the last owners of the school by the new Farleigh College until 2001. Bath Rugby Club now occupies it as its headquarters and training centre.
