assume you mean

Pond Cottage
High Street
GL14 1LN

Do you know when the cottage was built?

Census returns, do not very often give the names of individual cottages, e.g. they just go along, say the.....High Street. Even Burial's in Westbury on Severn, FOD records - only give Cottage names - quite late 19th century onwards

May be one of these burials (transcribed also in FOD burial records for Westbury on Severn)
