The A48 from Lydney via Aylburton reaches Alvington, a small village in Gloucestershire. Alvington was part of Herefordshire in the late 11th century, but had become part of Gloucestershire by the early 13th century. A document dated 1327 records the population as 41. That small figure is very likely to have been greatly reduced by the Black Death two decades later. The current population is about 500.
