Burwalls is now owned by Bristol University. Once a hall of residence, it is now used for Continuing Education events, conferences and other functions. The house is surrounded at the front by large trees including an impressive monkey puzzle.
[2018 update: Burwalls was sold in 2010 and is now luxury flats. Historic England describes it as "Orange/red brick with limestone ashlar dressings; stone-coped plain tile roof with carves finials; brick ridge and end stacks with moulded stone cornicing to diagonally-set flues. Jacobethan style."
It was built for Joseph Leech (the anonymous "Bristol Church-Goer") in 1872. It was later owned by George Alfred Wills (tobacco gets into everything in Bristol) and then his unmarried daughter Hilda Proctor Wills (who must have rattled in such a big house all on her own). In the Second World War it was the HQ of the Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment and was acquired by Bristol University after the war.
