Dyrham & Hinton, St. Peter's Church
The church of St. Peter's is in Dyrham Park (National Trust Property), the
former estate of William Blathwayt (abt 1649 - 1717; Secretary of State/War
under King William). Other sites have information re Dyrham, so please visit

Part of Gloucestershire from Samuel Lewis' Topographical Dictionary, c. 1835,
showing "Dirham" and Hinton. Map courtesy of Clare.
Many of the estate papers of the Blathwayt family have been preserved and are
available at the Gloucestershire Records Office. Per a CD about the estate
("Dyrham Park," by the National Trust, 2000; sold at the local shop;
not found online), most of the papers were sold by the family in the early
1900s. Beyond the GRO, papers may be found at: "the British Museum;
library of Congress, Washington, DC; Huntington Library, California."
Further, the house/estate at Dyrham Park has "additional documents that
are not on their (GRO) catalogue."
We hope you find the items we're including from Dyrham of interest.
