Enclosed memorial
This stone memorial has the Latin inscription 'Fraterni Dignus Amoris', which translates as 'Worthy of brotherly love'. Sadly, frost damage is starting to eat away at the legend.

Dower House and the landscape
Today, this Grade II listed estate has the M32 for company. But in the past the grounds were extensive and the earth banking created for the house to stand on. Lower down in the grasslands were the original pond and a sports ground dating from the twentieth century.

Dower House through the trees
Once this impressive estate house was owned by the Berkeley and Beaufort families; they had a lot of the surrounding downland landscaped, but by the twentieth century it had largely become unkempt. Responsibility having been given to Bristol City council, some of the features have been rediscovered.
