trying to find info on Knavingcots Farm, Westbury on severn

[B17_Fan]

Hi all. I'm trying to trace the history of "Knavingcots" in westbury on severn. It's for my brother in laws grandparents. I don't live in the area, so i'm reliant on google and find my past. I've found a few things on FindMyPast but google is not really bringing anything up. I was wondering if maybe anyone had a book on the area, there may be photos in there. Or if anyone knows anything about the farm, it would be much appreciated. Thankyou

If you look on Know Your Place Bristol   http://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=  you can see the farm on the early editions of the OS maps. 

Click on the little picture of a house in the top left of the first screen and you can put in Westbury on Severn.  Knavingcots is just north west of the village, beyond the railway line.  The box on the right lets you choose Basemaps and you can compare any two maps that cover the area (1st ed vs modern, say) by using the slider in the middle.
You could also look on Google Earth or Google Streetview for a view of the area today.
