Historical Note
The estate is thought to originate in 1265, making it 757 years old. It was the first manor house of Long Ashton and first recorded as the manor house of Ashton-Philips. In the 14th century the house was divided until a Bristol merchant named Richard Ameryk started to purchase shares in the estate, until 1502 when he acquired the final portion of the manor. In the last 1400’s Ameryk paid John Cabot the yearly sum of £20, which King Henry VII had granted him after his voyage of discovery in 1497. Many locals claim Cabot named the new land America as a compliment to Ameryk.
