Clevedon Court
Clevedon Court is a 14th century manor house but with much of the
original building dating back to earlier times.
There is a 12th century tower and a 13th century great hall. The
property is set in a well landscaped 18th century terraced garden with
several outbuildings and an impressive wall to the rear of the property.
This has been the
home to the Elton family since 1709 and their descendants still live
here at Clevedon Court. The house contains a collection of glassware
and some impressive paintings and furniture.
We have visited many
National Trust properties but it has to be said that the official
representatives at this particular property really do make their
visitors feel most welcome. Each representative talked with ease and
knowledge about Clevedon Court and it was obvious that they spoke about
their subject with a passion all to rare these days.
This property is
open from the end of March until the end of September on Wednesdays,
Thursdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Last admission is 30 minutes before closing time.
