ELEANOR CABOT BRADLEY (1893-1990)
Eleanor Cabot Bradley was born 24 September 1893 in Cohasset, Massachusetts to Godfrey Lowell
Cabot (26 February 1861 - 2 November 1962) and Maria Buckminster Moors (21 April 1866 - 5
November 1934), who married on 23 June 1890 in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Godfrey Lowell Cabot
was the son of Samuel Cabot (1815-1885) and Hannah Lowell Jackson (1820-1879). Maria
Buckminster Moors was the daughter of Joseph Benjamin Moors (1831-1909) and Mary Buckminster
Jones (1835-1913).
Eleanor Cabot Bradley attended classes in Landscape Architecture at Cambridge School of
Architecture and Landscape Architecture and Radcliffe College throughout her life without earning a
degree. She also attended horticultural workshops at the Arnold Arboretum and the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. She was an active leader in Boston area gardening organizations, most notably a
president of the Noanett Garden Club and a member of the Arnold Arboretum Visiting Committee,
a group that reported on Arboretum activities for the Harvard University Board of Overseers.

Eleanor Cabot Bradley married Ralph Bradley, who became an executive at the Cabot Corporation
on 16 August 1919. Ralph Bradley was born on 21 June 1888 in Williamstown, Massachusetts to
Reverend Levett and Susan Hinkley and spent his childhood in Pennsylvania. He died in 1970 in
Manchester, Massachusetts.
Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley had four children: Elizabeth (b. 1920), John (b. 1922), Hannah (b.
1926), and Arthur (b. 1932), who died in childhood. By Eleanor Cabot Bradley’s death in August
1990, she had eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
In 1945, Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley acquired her family’s estate named Cherry Hill. They had
purchased a Hancock, New Hampshire farm in 1936; however, Cherry Hill was closer to Boston
where her father lived. From 1948 to 1962, Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley lived during the week
in Boston with Eleanor’s father, Godfrey Lowell Cabot, spent weekends at Cherry Hill, and summers
at their home on Eaglehead Road in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Following Godfrey Lowell Cabot’s death
in 1962, the couple lived full-time at Cherry Hill.
Eleanor Cabot Bradley’s grandfather, Samuel Cabot, purchased Cherry Hill in 1865. Upon his death,
his son, Dr. Arthur Tracy Cabot (1852-1912), inherited Cherry Hill and acquired additional acreage
to create a seventy-acre estate. In 1902, he hired architect Charles Platt to design a house on the
property. Upon Arthur Cabot’s death, his wife, Susan Shattuck Cabot, inherited Cherry Hill. By the
time of her death in 1944, Cherry Hill had fallen into disrepair.
After acquiring Cherry Hill, Eleanor Cabot Bradley worked with her husband, as well as caretaker
Reg Harris, to make several improvements, including the development of a woodland walk with a
series of horticultural vignettes and the construction of a Sunken Camellia House. In the 1950s and
1960s Cherry Hill’s boundaries underwent minor changes related to the development of Route 128,
and the purchase by Ralph and Eleanor Cabot Bradley of surrounding lands. Eleanor Cabot Bradley
was actively managing Cherry Hill until her death in 1990.
The Trustees of Reservations acquired Cherry Hill in 1991, renaming it the Eleanor Cabot Bradley
Estate. More information about the property can be found on the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate
website (http://www.thetrustees.org/places-to-visit/greater-boston/bradley-estate.html).
