In 1724 the earlier house was partially demolished to be replaced by a grander building, possibly built for Goldney by George Tully, a Bristol merchant who was a partner of William Champion in the Coalbrookdale Works. The Goldney family were Quakers, however their beliefs did not prevent them developing a significant range of enterprises;〔 ventures included: * Providing a significant proportion of the capital for Captain Woodes Rogers voyage on ''The Duke'' and its sister ship ''The Dutchess''. Rogers' crew rescued the real-life Robinson Crusoe, Alexander Selkirk, from Juan Fernandez island.〔 * Investment in the Coalbrookdale Iron Works, which led to Thomas Goldney III becoming the majority owner of the works. * Co-founding ''Goldney, Smith and Co.'', one of the first banks in Bristol and now part of the Royal Bank of Scotland. The gardens and orchards were designed by Goldney’s son Thomas Goldney III. The house was recased, altered and extended in 1864–65 by Alfred Waterhouse, who also designed the Natural History Museum. The house later passed down to other wealthy Bristol families – The Wills and the Frys.
