Earthcott

Earthcott is a hamlet in the civil parish of Alveston in South Gloucestershire, England, between Latteridge and Rudgeway on the B4059 road between the A38 road and Yate.

It has a letter box and a small village green, but no other services.

The place-name 'Earthcott' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as 'Herdicote'.

[1] Traditions of Earthcott include a village bonfire night, and Christmas Eve carol singing, normally done on the back of a tractor-trailer, with regular stops for mince pies and hot toddy.

There is a small 1870 Wesleyan Chapel now converted into a house.
