About Fencing in Backwell
Backwell in North Somerset appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name Bacoile, meaning the well back on the hill, and the surrounding area shows evidence of even earlier settlement in the form of an Iron Age hillfort between the village and neighbouring Flax Bourton. The manor was held by the Rodney family from the 12th to the 17th centuries, beginning with Walter de Rodney, who was granted the land for his support of the Empress Matilda in her struggle against King Stephen. By the 18th century the parish had grown to include several small hamlets, among them Church Town, Farleigh, West Town and Downside, a pattern of scattered settlement that still shapes the layout of the village today. Sitting a short distance southwest of Bristol, Backwell has grown steadily as a residential village while retaining its rural character within North Somerset.
