In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kings Weston like this:
KINGS-WESTON, a tything in Henbury parish, Gloucester; on the river Avon, at the boundary with Somerset, 3 miles NW of Bristol. Real property, £3, 345. Pop., 216. Houses, 29. Kings-Weston House was the seat of Lord De Clifford; belongs now to the Miles family; is a three story edifice, by Vanbrugh; and has a remarkably beautiful park, almost including Penpole hill, which commands a very fine view.
Kings Weston is now part of BRISTOL City. Click here for graphs and data of how BRISTOL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kings Weston itself, go to Statistics.
