About Clevedon Court
A 14th-century manor house nestled between Bristol and the North Somerset coast with rich literary connections to Tennyson and Thackeray.
The property boasts an 18th-century terraced garden, described by Gertrude Jekyll as ‘one of the noblest ranges of terraced walls in England’. It rises up the sheltering hillside behind the house and is protected from the wind, making it a peaceful paradise to pause and recharge.
Clevedon Court was built in 1320 by the de Clyvedon family and was purchased by Abraham Elton in 1709. It was passed to the National Trust by the Elton family in 1961. It contains some unique collections, including Eltonware, the studio pottery made on the premises by the 8th Elton baronet, a roomful of Nailsea glass bought by the wife of the 9th baronet, and a group of industrial prints collected by the 10th baronet.
