Alveston is a commuter village of roughly 3000 people about a mile south of Thornbury, South Gloucestershire and approximately 9 miles north of Bristol, England. It is twin town|twinned with Courville sur Eure, France. It has two hotels, a variety of small shops, several parks and fields, two churches and a Hyundai car dealership.

Alveston is the gateway to the first Severn Bridge from the A38 road|A38 and Thornbury. It is also the home of Thornbury Cricket Club and Marlwood secondary school.

In the 19th century, the village of Alveston was centred on Church Farm, on the lane leading from Rudgeway to Iron Acton. Most people consider the modern Alveston to be centred on the Ship Inn. In the 19th century, the area around the Ship Inn was known as Alveston Green.

The main road to Gloucester originally passed the Ship Inn, before turning east to join the current line of the A38 trunk road. A short bypass was added during the 20th Century.

Marlwood School


Marlwood School is a mixed Comprehensive school|comprehensive which serves Alveston and the surrounding area. The school was founded in 1606 as Thornbury's grammar school , but relocated to its present site in 1972 when it became comprehensive. It is so named because of its location adjacent to the Marlwood Estate. 2006 will mark the school's 400th anniversary, and several events are planned in celebration.
