Walter Long (of South Wraxall)

Walter Long of South Wraxall, near Bradford-on-Avon (c. 1712–1807), the great-great-great grandson of Sir Walter Long of South Wraxall and Draycot, was born in Wiltshire, and inherited along with other family estates, the 15th-century house known as South Wraxall Manor. His ancestors made their wealth initially as clothiers. He served as High Sheriff of Wiltshire for 1764.

Long died in Bath in 1807, aged at least 93 years. He bequeathed the bulk of his fortune to the sons of his cousin Richard Long of Rood Ashton, Wiltshire.
