A 19th century description

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Aylburton from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"AYLBURTON, a tything in Lydney parish, Gloucester; about a mile W of Lydney. It has a post office under Lydney. Population: 604. Houses: 106. It forms a curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Lydney; and its church was rebuilt in 1857."

"Aylburton developed separate institutions of parish government and assumed the status of a civil parish in the late 19th century, while remaining a chapelry of Lydney." (Source:British History Online on Lydney)
