Hasfield

Hasfield is a civil parish in Gloucestershire, England, and lies six miles (9.7 km) south-west of Tewkesbury and seven miles (11 km) north of Gloucester. It is situated on the west bank of the River Severn; as much of its land resides below the 50-foot contour, it is subject to regular flooding. Hasfield is represented by the county councillor for Severn Vale division and the two borough councillors for Highnam with Haw Bridge ward on Tewkesbury Borough Council.Hasfield parish is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, noting it had 59 villagers, 54 smallholders and 51 slaves while in 2010 the Gloucestershire County council estimated there were 111 residents. The parish became the seat of the Pauncefootes of Pauncefoote Court in 1199 and remained in their hands until 1598. All that remains of the original manor house appears to be an ancient gateway with several blank escutcheons found near the parish church.Hasfield Court is built on the same site and it is a heritage building, listed by English Heritage as a Grade II* building. The manor house changed hands several times and once belonged (1847–63) to the architect Thomas Fulljames. The house was sold in 1863 to William Baker, a bachelor, of Fenton House, Staffs. He owned a pottery at Fenton where he built several municipal buildings and Christ Church. His nephew, William Meath Baker, was a patron and friend of Sir Edward Elgar, who based his Enigma Variation no. 4 on him, and nos. 3 and 10, respectively, on WMB's brother-in-law and niece. Hasfield Court remains in the ownership of the Meath Baker family.
