Why The Fortunes Of Kings Weston House Changed Between 1700 And The Present Day
Kings Weston House was built on the side of a ridge probably with idyllic pastoral views (as was the fashion in the 1700's). Kings Weston House was probably built on this site because of those views, it was surrounded by countryside with a few grazing cattle's of sheep and most likely farmland visible, but the main view from the house was the River Severn and the rolling green hills of Wales visible on the other side. These views made it the perfect country house for a wealthy family. Today the view from the house is very different, you can see the built up council estates of Sea Mills and Lawrence Weston.

He wanted to build it on the same site as the Tudor mansion because it was in the ideal place for everything he needed. It was near the village of Shirehampton where he could hire people as servants to help run the house, and as they came from the village he did not have to pay to house them. It was only five miles from the city of Bristol so he could easily get there to sort out business, or for him and his family to enjoy what the city had to offer them. It was also very close to Sea Mills, where he wanted to build up the roman harbour because Bristol docks were beginning to lose trade to Docks in Liverpool. This is because Liverpool dock was a lot easier for ships to get to, unlike Bristol where they had to travel up the bendy and very tidal River Avon. So by building a floating harbour in Sea Mills ships would not have to travel all the way up the Avon. But Sea Mills harbour soon failed because it did not have sufficient links with Bristol. Also if you wanted to be elected in Parliament you had to have a certain amount of land and as Kings Weston has 60 acres of land it was the ideal place to build the new house.
The current house was designed by John Vanbrugh. He was born in Londonin 1664 and came to Bristol in 1710 at the age of 46. John Vanbrugh was first a foot soldier, then a play righter in 1696, writing plays like "Loves Last

ships had to be unloaded so the freight could be carried overland, towns sprang up where the cargo could be stored and protected, and slipways were constructed so that the ships could be drug over land, so there was no way enemy ships or navies could attack.
The innovation of maritime technology has revolutionized travel throughout history. Prior to ships and sea travel, humans were separated by vast oceans and confined to their homeland for life. Because of these large boundaries, discoveries and inventions were only shared within land masses and trade as a whole was very limited. This uncharted, inaccessible territory caused a major separation of mankind. However, these oceans sparked curiosity and desire for explorers to venture beyond their native land. This curiosity was the driving force to the invention of naval travel, a highly important and massive step for all growing communities during the Age of Exploration. Maritime technology’s advancements through history greatly aided in the Age of Exploration, allowing provinces to break their land boundaries and make monumental steps towards the advanced world humans populate today.

The ship roman traders used for trading by sea was called the Corbitas. In Document 2, they described the trade ship as “ A round-hulled ship with curving prow and stern.” And also praising the Corbitas in context by stating “The Corbitas could carry a maximum of 600 passengers, or an alternative maximum of 6,000 jars of wine, oil, and other liquids; cargo weighing between 70 and 350 tons.” These trading ships also transported the surplus of goods faster than a cart could on land, Document 2 supports this by adding an example that stated “It took only two to three weeks for a ship to travel from Egypt to Rome.” And sea trade was so important romans built deep harbors in key locations to increase its effectiveness, at their peak, Rome constructed lighthouses in 40 different locations to help sailors navigate at night or in environments where their vision was obscured. Sea trade ultimately became Rome’s best and most efficient trading routes, and raked in a lot of money for Rome, and became one of Rome’s best economy boosters in their

The best alterative for sea faring merchants and travelers, if their ship was small enough, was to set their boat on a platform and drag it across the four mile isthmus to the other side; or, if their ship was too large, disembark the cargo and carry it to the other side to be loaded onto another ship.? This short land trek saved mariners the journey of two hundred and two miles around Cape Malea (Barclay 2).?

In essence, “leases” are created between landlords and tenants as contracts to grant exclusive possession of the land for a defined period of time, in exchange of rent from tenant. Leases give contractual interests to tenants, while at the same time creates proprietary interests in the land by granting exclusive possession, which elevates a tenancy into an “estate/interest in land”. It can therefore be understood and has been suggested by commentators that leases are of dual nature and should “be characterised as something of a hybrid”[1]: a hybrid of contract and estate in land.
