| Avening is a small village buried in a wooded valley between Nailsworth, Minchinhampton and Tetbury, and about 2 miles from each.
Visit this Gloucestershire site and the page 'Church Monuments at Avening', Compiled by Graham Thomas includes Bigland recorded gravestones for William Hall, Rodway/Radway, Driver, Adams
'Gloucester Village Populations' by Alicia C Percival, 1972, has for Avening, Communicants in 1551 - 260, in 1603 - 240, in 1676 - 340, and in 1650 there are 60 families. If each house has an average of 2 adults, the Hearth figures of 109 houses appear to give a different tally. 340 comunicants in 60 houses appears unusual.
B=E 178 247/14, for 1671, C=E 178 247/13, D=E 178 116/544 both for 1672
182 entries transcribed, which appear to belong to 130 individuals with 109 houses.
I have 108 hearths and 44 names for 1671, they have 134 hearths. I have 53 names having tax exemptions.
In 1672 they have 137 hearths in 55 houses. I found 24 legible out of 52 names, and 54 hearths exempt
John Driver (6 hearths, 1671) seems to be replaced by George House (6 hearths, 1672)
20 houses appear to gain a new 'Master or Mistress' during the year between the two lists.
The numbers are only a counting aid.
