From a diary: "The Cenetaph for the Falling what is in the Doynton ChurchYard was sawed out of 4 blocks of Freestone by myself and Mr Webb, neither of us had ever done anything like it befor, Mr Webb took the job on and I assisted him." The diary owner was Ernest Porter. He was once the tenant at the Cross House pub - which is just a stones throw from the church. |

'Doynton House' was built in the early 17th Century. The Holy Trinity Church in Doynton was mostly rebuilt 1864-65 by J. E. Gill of Bath. The tower is built in the Perpendicular style with gargoyles and one surviving pinnacle. The church was again restored in 1893. Doynton House is a typical gabled early 17th Century house with mullioned windows. The house has conspicuous relieving arches that are embedded in the masonry over the windows.
These arches are a feature of this district of South Gloucestershire, which is very much in the 'Bristol Quarter' of old Gloucestershire. The gables have
finials and the chimneys are set diagonally.
