Real property, £1, 747. Pop., 18. Houses, 4. The manor belongs to the Earl of Carnarvon. Freshets of the Avon used to overflow the land; and they occasioned the construction, in 1474, of a paved causeway "for the good of travellers." A Moravian settlement was established here in the time of Wesley and Whitfield. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. Value, £82. Patron, not reported. The church is modern.
