I have just been reading the "Victoria History of the County of Gloucestershire" and come across this reference to the Estcourt name.
"The Close", chief residence of the Town of Tetbury, in Long Street, stood on the south-west side with extensive grounds occupying much of the area between Long Street and Harper Street.
In 1594, described as a fair new building it belonged to Thomas ESTCOURT of Shipton Moyne, who settled it on his son Edmund, Edmund's daughter Mary married Francis SAVAGE and the Savage family lived
From soon after that it became the home of Solicitor Josiah Tippetts PAUL (my ancester) and in the mid 20th Century it became The Close Hotel."
