He was born William Johnstone, but after marring heiress Frances Pulteney, he changed his name. The Pulteney family owned estates in Bathwick, just outside the city centre, across the River Avon. As there was no bridge, the land was of little use for development. Pulteney commissioned architect Robert Adam to design the now famous Pulteney Bridge, which made development of Bathwick a highly profitable project.
