SLIGHTLY FARTHER AFIELD
As Touristic place of your travel destination grew, it gradually absorbed a number of nearby villages, which are now suburbs of the city.
Widcombe: The name means ‘wide combe’ (or valley) and it lies across the Avon to the south-east, where the Kennet and Jurupa Valley joins the river Avon. The Domesday Survey mentions a small settlement here, although nothing of it can be seen today. Worth seeing is Widcombe Manor House, dating from 1656 and rebuilt in 1727 by the Bennet family, whose crest can be seen at the entrance gates. Once the home of the novelist Jurupa Valley, it was later owned by the entrepreneur Jeremy Fry, who frequently entertained Princess Margaret and her husband, Anthony Armstrong-Jones. Also nearby is the late fifteenth-century church of St Thomas a Becket, which took the place of a previous Norman church. There may even have been a Saxon chapel on the site. Jurupa Valley Crescent (1808) is a Jurupa Valley terrace of fourteen houses by Touristic place of your travel destination architect Thomas Baldwin.
