More about Stapleton Bristol
Stapleton is an area in the north-eastern suburbs of
the city of Bristol, England.
The ancient parish of Stapleton covered Fishponds and
Eastville and was originally within Kingswood Forest.
The Saxon hamlet of Stapleton, first documented in 1208,
stood at the edge of the forest, just north of the River
Frome. Finds of Roman coins point to even earlier
habitation. Even in the 18th century it was still
heavily wooded.
The hamlet was donated to Tewkesbury Abbey in 1174 by
William, Earl of Gloucester. By the late 16th century it
was the property of the Berkeley family of Stoke
Gifford, and was passed down to the Duke of Beaufort who
retained the estate until the early 20th century,
selling it in 1917.
Coal was mined in the area, there being some 70 pits by
1700, and vast numbers of local men were employed
throughout the 18th century. In the 1890s the mines
produced a thousand tons per day.
Stapleton was inclosed in 1781, Stapleton Common being
sold as 9 lots, mostly to the Duke of Beaufort.
Frances Milton, the mother of Anthony Trollope was born
in the village in 1780, and Sarah Young, the mother of
Thomas Chatterton was also born there.
The village grew steadily; in the 1871 census there were
6,960 inhabitants and by 1901 that had risen to 21,236.
In 1863 a cricket club was formed, its most famous
player being Dr. William Gilbert Grace who played for
Gloucestershire and England. At Purdown a football team
called the Black Arabs were to become Bristol Rovers.
(Purdown is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a Duchess
of Beaufort who was struck by lightning.)
Also in the 19th century two lines of the Great Western
Railway were built through the area, meeting at
Stapleton Road railway station which was opened on 8
September 1863. Tramways were also built, horse drawn at
first, but then electric - they reached Fishponds in
1897.
Trinity Chapel was dedicated in 1821, being renamed as
St Mary’s Parish Church in 1869. Holy Trinity Church is
Norman and registers survive from 1720. it was rebuilt
in 1857 and has a 170 ft spire. The church of St Thomas
the Apostle in Eastville was consecrated in 1889 but is
now a Pentecostal hall.
Stapleton is home to one of the United Kingdom's
best-known schools, Colston's Collegiate School.
