Abbots Leigh is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of the centre of Bristol.
The original Middle English name was Lega and the village became Abbots Leigh in the mid-12th century when Robert Fitzharding (first Earl of Berkeley), who purchased the manor having been rewarded as Lord of the Manor of Portbury by the king, He also purchased Bedminster, Hareclive and Billeswick manors. He went on to found the Abbey of St Augustine at what was Billeswick and bequeathed the income from the parish to support the Abbey Because of this connection to the abbey, when the Diocese of Bristol was carved out of the Bath and Wells, Gloucester and Worcester diocesan territories (Patent Roll, Henry V111, Art. 9, June 1542 ) the boundary to the diocese was drawn around the parish, including the Saxon 'enclosure' at Hamgreen which had been part of Portbury manor lands up to this time. All the surrounding parishes in Somerset are in Bath and Wells diocese. The Parish Map shows this very extended historic boundary which puts St Katherine's School and Chapel Pill Farm both indisputably within the parish and not in Pill as everyone would think!

Looking after a grandson for the day so we went to the pool to play with the rc boats. My grandson gives an enthusiastic commentary on his skills as he harasses me on the water, this time with my 9v Boat. Although I call it the 9 volt boat I run it on LiPos. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or checkout my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view;=1 I converted this toy boat to RC and powered it with a scratch built outboard motor in a project series last December. I am very pleased with it's performance as it looks fun and works much better than...

THE BEACH HOUSE STORY The Annenberg Community Beach House at Santa Monica State Beach is a new public facility located on 5 acres of oceanfront property. The Beach House story is one of evolution from private to public, starting with the development of the property at 415 Pacific Coast Highway as an opulent private estate in the 1920s. Historic Past The 5-acre oceanfront site upon which the Annenberg Community Beach House now sits was originally developed during the Gold Coast era of the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for actress Marion Davies. The Davies estate featured a mansion of 100-plus rooms and an ornate marble swimming pool. As with many Hearst projects, the vision of architect Julia Morgan provided a cohesive grace to the rambling estate. The Beach House was a hot spot on Sa...

We were so happy it was finally time to go to Cyprus! We arrived late in the evening which our neighbors probably all noticed since we were screaming of excitement when we were exploring our apartment for the week. The next day we spent at the resort, trying out all the cocktails and all the food. We ended up climbing over our balcony, jumping into the pool, fully dressed, at 2 AM. The reception guy had to come and get us out since night swimming wasn't allowed, oops! Subscribe now to follow me on all of my travel adventures!
