Kingston Russell
Kingston Russell is a large mansion house and manor near Long Bredy in Dorset, England, west of Dorchester. The present house dates from the late 17th century but in 1730 was clad in a white Georgian stone facade. The house was restored in 1913, and at the same time the gardens were laid out. The house is on land which was granted to the Russell family (not ancestors of the Russell Dukes of Bedford),〔See Scott-Thomson, Gladys,F.R.H.S. Two Centuries of Family History, London, 1930 (being a study of the Bedford Russell early pedigree) for a thorough disambiguation of the two Russell families of Dorset, Russell of Kingston Russell (pedigree given as Appendix D, pp.324-328, and Russell of Berwick-by-Swyre, ancestors of the Dukes of Bedford); Also J. Horace Round, Origin of the Russells. Even highly reputable historical publications confuse the two families, e.g. the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, 2004, which states the 1st Earl of Bedford to have descended from John Russell(d.c.1224) of Kingston Russell, even though it quotes as a source Scott-Thomson's work, clearly not thoroughly consulted. Church, S.D. makes the same error, repeated several times, whilst quoting as a source Round, who specifically and at great length refuted the assertion〕 by an early king, probably King John (1199–1216) at the end of his reign, or his son Henry III. Kingston Russell manor is now part of Long Bredy parish, but earlier appears to have had its own church. The main part of the manor adjoins Winterbourne Abbas to the east and Compton Valence to the north, whilst the house itself adjoins Long Bredy. It is situated in an area known for ancient tumuli and the Kingston Russell Stone Circle. The Poor Lot barrow group forms a boundary with Littlebredy and Winterbourne Abbas.〔http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/winterbourne-poor-lot-barrows/〕
==Toponymy==
The ''Victoria County History of the County of Dorset'' (1908) notes that Little Bredy, of which Kingston Russel is a part, may have been the borough of ''Brydian'' in the Saxon period. It goes on to say that if Little Bredy is indeed the borough of Brydian then "It was ... important as guarding the one gap in the downs which connects south-east with south-west Dorset."〔(Text from Victoria County History, Dorset, vol 2, 1908, pp.127–128 )〕
