  • Historian to deliver talk on Victorian estate Architectural historian Julian Orbach will return to Frome to give a talk to the Frome Society on Wiltshire’s little-known great Victorian estate at Grittleton. Julian will return on Saturday 21st February, to talk about Grittleton, which spans across the M4 near Castle Combe. Organisers say, “In 1828, Philip Rundell, silversmith to Queen Victoria, died and left £900,000 to his great nephew, Joseph Neeld. He bought the Grittleton Estate and the manor of Chippenham and devoted his life to rebuilding the house and the villages of Grittleton, Alderton, Leigh Delemere and Sevington, which comprised his estate. Julian will describe the extraordinarily rich high Victorian style of the architecture employed in designing the house, with layers of balconies under coffered ceilings of blue, white and gold, contrasting with the much simpler, but still very generous cottages on the estate, each with a large garden and pigsty."
