per tread. Warmley House and its associated buildings are of considerable
historical interest. It belonged to William Champion, a Quaker, who developed
a new process for brass using zinc. The foundry was on the premises. He built
the hammer house and statue of Neptune. The walling of the Summer house and
quoins and dressings of other buildings and structures waste stag material
from the foundry was used-this is a notable local feature and occurs again
in Bitton, Upton Cheyney and Kelston. See also walls of large former gardens
to east of house. The buildings (now swept away) associated with the Foundry
were an early example of Cadbury's "Bourneville" idea where the employer builds
his workmen's dwellings to form a small community around the factory.
