A pretty English Village


100_0374.jpg

Avening is a parish in the hundred of Longtree, two miles south of Minchinhampton and two miles north of Tetbury. The rivulet Avon arising from a collection of springs at Aston Hill winds through the parish. Avening probably derives it’s name from the stream with the Danish ‘ing’ being a low meadow ground. It is three quarters tilled ground and the remainder in pasture with 400 acres of beech woodland. The soil is light with fossil stone one foot below the surface. These people were in the main Agricultural Labourers.


The church is dedicated to St. Mary but conducts a festival of the Holy Cross on 14th September. It is Norman style constructed with a transept which is unusual in this County, a low tower in the middle and five bells and a small aisle attached to the nave. The style is similar to that in Minchinhampton.
