About this work
Hasfield 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. However Hasfield Court, depicted here, is built on the same site and is in and of itself a heritage building being 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 then sold to and remains in the ownership of the Baker family. William Baker was the last Abbot of Gloucester. Three of the Enigma Variations were based on the characters of members of the Baker family.
