a town of Gloucestershire, 12 miles east from Cirencester, 29 miles from Gloucester, and 60 from London. The river Thames waters it on the south and east sides, and divides it from Wilshire and Berkshire. The Leach runs through the north side of the parish. The Thames river is navigable for barges of 50 tons burden, but want of water one part of the year makes the navigation very uncertain. Here is a small market on Tuesday, and two fairs in the year. The church is a large handsome building, with double aisles, supported by two rows of fluted pillars.
