Not a lot to see but Henbury House lies off of the A31 on this map also Henbury Heights.

Possibly a small group of cottages once in this area.

Thanks everyone looks like it is Henbury.  I'm trying to work out if this is the John and Mary who's son Habakkuk was baptised 1743 in St Marylebone, London and if they are linked to the Habakkuk Pride who died in Sherebourne, Dorset in 1708.

Henbury House is on this map http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=15&lat=50.7869&lon=-2.0573&layers=6&right=BingHyb
On an 1888 map the Henbury Manor on the right is called Higher Henbury House https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/396160/98241/12/100145
