Rediscovering Acton Court
and the Poyntz Family’
published by Bristol Visual & Environmental Group
When Dorothy Brown of the BVEBT first found Acton Court, it was in such bad condition that parts of it were held up with scaffolding poles. Dorothy’s involvement very possibly saved the house from demolition and was instrumental to its scheduling and recognition as one of the most important Tudor buildings in the country. This guide-sized book describes the exciting process of unearthing the extraordinary history behind Acton Court. It covers its rescue, the work done by English Heritage, their archaeologists, and the current owners to save the building for the future. The book also includes an abridged history of the Tudor members of the Poyntz family of Iron Acton and their descendants, written by Jean Manco.
