Records of Cold Ashton, 1309-1504
The parish of Cold Ashton, which lies in the South of Gloucestershire, forms for about three miles the boundary of Somerset, on which account frequent confusion has arise between it and Cold Aston in the latter county. The Court Rolls which Mr. Bush, in successive issues of G.N.&Q., will contribute, shew . that the Halmote was always held at Hamswell, one of the three manor houses in the parish, and apparently occupied by the steward who looked after the estate for the Priors of Bath, to whom the parish had been granted by Athelstan in 931. About twenty-five years later King Edwy restored it to them, after an unjust seizure, when it continued thus to be held until the dissolution of Monasteries by Henry VIII, who granted the estates with the advowson of the Church to Sir Walter Denys, Knt., for the sum of £760 11s. 7d. In 1564 William Pepwall, merchant of Bristol, purchased it of Sir Walter, but his grandson, John Pepwall sold Hamswell, in 1622, to William Whittington, whose ancestor, Robert Whittington, leased the property in 1646, and that family occupied it from that time until about 1850, in whose possession indeed it still remains. Another manor was Tatwick, in the, parish of Swaniswick, Somerset, A conveyance of the year 1345 speaks of " a moiety of the manor of, Tatwyck held by Simon Torney," which moiety is today called Torners' Court. The name of Thurnay appears in a subsidy of 1327, and there are further references between that date and 1467. The manor, with that of Cold Ashton, was sold by John Pepwall in 1629 to John Gunning, a Bristol merchant, whose father, Thomas, lived here. The name first appears in a Court Roll of 1437, and occurs in many parish documents as Gomwyn, Gumwyn, or Govin. The Manor House, which is at the N.E. boundary of the parish, has on its entrance gateway the 'Gunning arms, (three cannons barways per pale argent); granted in 1662 to John, son of John above named. On the death of Sir Robert Gunning, in 1679, his sister' Elizabeth, inherited this manor, but on her marriage to Thomas Langton, it passed into that family, and is now held by Earl Temple.
Footnote: One or two corrections should be made to the account given above :- Cold Aston is in the North of
Gloucestershire. 1646 should be 1546. A moiety of the Manor of Tatwick with the house (now called Turner's Court) is in
this parish, the other moiety is in the parish of Swainswick. Thurnay should be Turnay; Gumwin, Gunwin; and Govin,
