I believe my relative Henry Cleverly lived in Tetbury in 1841.
In the census his address is Gumstool Hill but it also says Selbury, I wonder if this is a house name?
Any ideas?

Sorry to say I can’t find any reference to the word Selbury, in relation to Tetbury, or Gumstool Hill in particular.
Today many of the houses have been remodelled but still retain the old names where appropriate, but most only had numbers.
As far as Henry Cleverly is concerned I can confirm a Cleverly lived in Gumstool Hill for the 1841 census but it seems only as resident not a property owner so little else would have been recorded.

Let me know the details of your visit, you may like a guide for your walk.
Recently I have been doing some research on the history of Tetbury and am in the process of putting together a series of historic walks, well strolls really not that strenuous.
