Blaise Hamlet

Blaise Hamlet is a village in north west Bristol, England. The village is a complex of small cottages around a green. They were built around 1811 for retired employees of John Scandrett Harford, who owned Blaise Castle House. The hamlet was designed by John Nash, master of the Picturesque style. He had worked for Harford on other buildings.
