Tree: UK Thrale family

Notes:

After moving out of their Hanover Square house, Hester Piozzi and her husband Gabriel Piozzi moved to Bristol, in 1785.

The Beaufort Arms, Redcliffe

In about 1784, Hester Thrale is known to have stayed at The Beaufort Arms, a well-known inn in the Redcliffe area of Bristol, around the time of her marriage to Gabriele Piozzi in 1784. The inn provided a temporary residence for the couple while they navigated their new life in Bristol. The location was a popular spot for travellers and intellectuals of the time, adding to its significance in Hester's social life.

25 St. Michael's Hill, Bristol

After her marriage to Gabriel Piozzi, the Piozzis rented a house at St. Michael's Hill, where they resided from 1784 to 1792. This period marked a time of transition for Hester as she adapted to widowhood and her second marriage. The location was central to her social and intellectual activities in Bristol.

20 Sion Hill, Clifton

The Piozzis moved to Sion Hill in the elegant Clifton district of Bristol from 1792 to 1794.

2 The Crescent, Clifton

Following their time at 20 Sion Hill, the Piozzis moved to The Crescent, Clifton and stayed here between 1794 and 1799. During their time here, Hester continued her writing, working on her memoirs and engaging with the intellectual society of Bristol. This address marks the final chapter of her time in the city before moving on to other locations.
