Elberton, Gloucestershire history
The name Elberton means the farmstead of a man called Æthelbeorht. The name dates back to at least 1086, when the village was listed in the Domesday Book.
Elberton Camp
The earthworks of an Iron Age defended settlement, Elberton Camp, can be found in Vineyards Brake woodland overlooking the village.
Quakers
In 1654, in the wake of the English Civil War, influential early Quaker preachers John Audland and John Camm held a meeting in the village of “1000 people” Elberton and neighbouring villages remained home to many Quaker families, such as the Goldney family.
Quarry
Harn Hill quarry has since been filled in as a landfill site. The expansion of the quarry in 1960s saw the demolition of a number of buildings, including the old vicarage. The landfill now serves as a source for biogas generation, producing 2.6MW.
