- Midway_Manor abstract "Midway Manor, a Grade Ii listed building in Bradford on Avon, was originally an Elizabethan Manor Farm flanked by two large stone barns. In about 1723, the Midway estate was the property of the Shrapnel family who were prosperous cloth merchants from Bradford on Avon, United Kingdom. Lieutenant-General Henry Shrapnel (3 June 1761 – 13 March 1842), inventor of the Shrapnel shell, was born at Midway Manor which remained with the Shrapnel family until 1871.The house had stone cannon balls mounted in various places on the front façade and also a carving of the Shrapnel shell exploding with the Latin inscription “Ratio Ultima Regum” (translated as “the Last Argument of Kings”) which Louis XIV of France also had cast on the cannons of his armies. This carving is now immediately outside the Manor's entrance gates. On the back of the gate piers the names of some of the battles that were won with the aid of the Shrapnel shell are engraved. On top of each are four of the original spherical case shots. The gate piers to Midway Manor are Grade II listed since 14 June 1988.In 1892, the Manor became the property of Henry Baynton who removed the front façade and this necessitated almost a complete rebuilding of the house with stone provided from the barns which were then demolished. The main structure of the house became very much as it is today.".
