Hi Colin, I have an old book, dating from 1851, which lists Noblemen and Gentlemen's Seats in Clifton and the Environs of Bristol. You mentioned Michael Hinton Castle and that name rang a bell in my mind so I looked for the entry concerning his home. Here it is: STAPLETON GROVE ; to the left of the road from the bridge, approaching this mansion, is a lofty avenue of fine elms through a fine meadow field, backed by woods, and many years the residence of the late M. Hinton Castle, Esq. Josephine
