Purton, Lydney

Purton is a hamlet on the west bank of the River Severn, in the civil parish of Lydney in Gloucestershire, England. It lies opposite the village of Purton on the east bank of the river.
The name of the place derives from the Old English ''pirige tun'', meaning "pear orchard".〔Mills, A.D. and Room, A. ''A Dictionary of British Place-Names'' Oxford University Press〕 It was mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Purton was a small port, and there was a ferry across the river to the other Purton by 1282. In the late 18th and early 19th century, there was also a ford across the river here. The ferry, known as Purton Passage, continued in use until 1879, when it was replaced by the Severn Railway Bridge.〔(Victoria County History of Gloucestershire: Lydney )〕
Purton Manor, which stands on a cliff overlooking the Severn, dates back to the 16th century.
