Property description

Westerleigh is a clustered village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire. It is 0.8 miles (1.3km) north of the M4, 1 mile (1.6km) south of Yate Town with all of its amenities, shops, library, doctors, dentist, NHS drop in centre and local schools. It is 10 miles (16km) north-east of the city of Bristol. The steep hill on which Hillcrest can be found is five miles (8.0km) from the crest of the Cotswold hills which is designated an area of natural beauty.



The village is first mentioned in a Saxon document of 887AD. At that time it was probably just a clearing in the woods. Westerleigh is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. In medieval times the village would probably have been a green with the houses and church around it. The northern wall and porch of St James Church is from the 13th century, as is the carved stone pulpit. The church was rebuilt in the perpendicular style with the tower added at a later date.



By 1876 occupations in the village included farmers, a bootmaker, shopkeepers, innkeepers, butchers, a plasterer, a blacksmith, a wheelwright, and a market gardener. At the end of the 19th century many of the old houses were demolished. At the beginning of the 20th century, the railway and mining provided most of the work. Nowadays a resident would find work in nearby, Yate, Chipping Sodbury and Bristol, and of course within the village itself.
