The Hodges family owned Slowwe House, Arlingham from the C17th I believe, and the Sayers and Carter were descended from the Hodges through the female line when there was no male heir. There is a great deal of Slowwe House and Carter family documents in Gloucester Records Office.
Also in Gloucester Records Office are books of the inscription of tombs and gravestones in Arlingham Churchyard recorded by M.K Curtis, Mike Curtis did this some decades ago before many inscriptions became indistinct.

Woolthorpe is of course only a short stroll from Slowwe House.

Brickyard Close I suspect would be at the end often Passage Road straight, on the right before you take the final bend before the Old Passage Inn. In the field to your right on that bend you will see a large pond where the clay was dug out for the bricks that were made on that site. The nearby car park to the Old Passage Inn was originally a pill which boats could enter on high tide and coal was brought in there for the brick kilns.
