Horse Garstons or Gastons, meaning a horse pasture is situated on the dividing point of Hampton Street, on the way out of Tetbury. In 1804 a small farm, in the possession of Mr Richard Constable was to be auctioned off. It consisted of a barn, two stables, wagon houses, Court well supplied with water, paddock, pasture and arable land altogether about 17 acres.
