a town of Gloucestershire, 20 miles from Bath and Bristol, and near 92 from London, with a market on Tuesdays, and two fairs. The parish is pretty large, being bounded on the north by the Stroud, and on the south by the brook Avoning; and has 12 hamlets belonging to it, with a common called Amberley. Here is a good large rectory church, built in form of a cross. In 1801 the inhabitants amounted to 3419, many of whom are employed in the woollen manufacture. W. Long. 2. 14. N. Lat. 51. 38.
