Abstract: |
The site lay within the ancient parish of St. Michael, from 1373 within the city and county of Bristol. The greater part of the site occupied by the Children's Hospital lay within the curilage of what was formally Joachim's Close. This close was shown on plans of the late 18th century, surveyed in order to show the lands leased by Thomas Tyndall from the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. The records of the Dean and Chapter enabled the history of Joachim's Close to be traced back to the 16th century. The site also lay within an area of defensive activity dating to the Civil War, when both Royalists and Parliamentarians held Bristol. The assessment concluded that pre-17th century activity would probably have been destroyed by the construction of the defences during the Civil War, with further developments adding to this. [AIP] |
