About us.

Abbeyfield was founded in 1956 by Richard Carr-Gomm.

The Abbeyfield Bristol Society was founded in March 1966 and opened its first house in 1968 and has looked after many hundreds of people in Bristol.

It is a member of the National Abbeyfield Society whose headquarters is in St Albans and our Royal Patron is HRH the Prince of Wales. Our National President is the Rt Hon Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone.

All the Bristol Society’s houses are now North West of the Centre of Bristol, including our only purpose-built house at Easter Compton, South Gloucestershire.

We also have a registered residential care home for 24 residents close to the Downs in Redland.

Our Bristol-based houses are in residential areas with good local amenities.

Please contact us for more detailed information about any of our houses and current vacancies.
