English: The rest of Abson from the south ABSON, Gloucestershire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868
"ABSON, (or Abston), a parish in the hundred of Pucklechurch, in the county of Gloucester, 5 miles S.W. of Chipping Sodbury, and 7 miles N.E. of Bristol. It is united with Wick, and contains the hamlets of Holbrook and Bridge-Yate. It is situated on a branch of the river Avon on the Cotswolds, at the foot of a rocky hill which rises to the height of 200 feet, and consists of alternate strata of limestone and petrosilex. An ancient camp exists here which is considered to be of British origin. This parish was formerly a possession of Glastonbury Abbey. Toghill, the scene of an engagement in 1642, in which Waller suffered a defeat, and Sir B. Granville was killed, is included in it. Coal and lime are obtained here. Roman coins, urns, bricks, &c., have been found. The living is a perpetual curacy united with the vicarage of Pucklechurch, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. The church is dedicated to St. James." The above was copied from: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/WickAbson/Gaz1868.html |
