Map of Thrupp & Brimscombe in 1824

Bryant's map of 1824 shows Thrupp and the River Frome with buildings dotted around. The map also shows the canal linking the Thames & Severn which had been completed over 35 years previously in 1789.

This would have been in the era of influential families, notably; Wathen, Lewis, and Ferrabee. The clothier and mill owner Robert Bamford, who lent John Ferrabee money to buy the Thrupp site, resided at the time of the purchase at New House, later called Brimscombe Court.
