There have been references to Abbot's Leigh recently. Sharp's Gazetteer of 1852 gave the following information about this parish: 'Portbury hund. NE Somerset. 3m.WNW. of Bristol ... on R. Avon at Rownham ferry, belonged to St. Augustine's abbey. Acres 2150, with limestone quarries; pop. 366'. The population figure of 366 was from the 1841 census.
