UTTOXETER, a market-town of England, in the county and 12 miles N.E. of Stafford, on a gentle slope near the right bank of the Dove, which here separates Staffordshire from Derbyshire, and is crossed by a fine stone bridge of six arches. The streets are generally straight, diverging from a market-place in the centre; and the most of the houses are well built of brick. The parish church is a handsome stone building, recently rebuilt, with the exception of the ancient spire, 179 feet high; and there are also places of worship for Roman Catholics and various dissenting sects. Uttoxeter has a free grammar school, a national school, almshouses, &c. There are some manufactures of leather, ropes, and hardware; and an extensive trade in agricultural produce is carried on, facilitated by the Caldon Canal, which terminates here. Pop. 3468.
