One hundred and thirteen miles from London, is a very ancient borough-town, but of late years much decayed, and is now without any trade. It is still governed by a mayor, and an indefinite number of aldermen, but sends no members. It has a nominal market-day on Monday; and two annual fairs, April 6 and June 24, the profits whereof belong to the mayor, who is alderman ever after his office has expired. The town is well watered by two brooks, over one of which is a handsome stone-bridge, and the wastes of it afford plenty of coal. This parish is much obliged to one Alexander Hosea, a poor boy, a native of it, that ran away from his parents, but met with such fortune in the world, that he gave 600£ to build a school house here, endowing it with a very good house in Gray's-inn-lane, London, for maintenance of the schoolmaster, which gift was settled by a degree in chancery. The church is a large edifice, with two aisles. The tower is at the west end, and is high, adorned with pinnacles. Wickwar is distant from Gloucester twenty six miles, from Wotton five, and from Sodbury four. Wotton is the post town. The principal inns are the Kings Arms and New Inn. --No coach or carrier to or from this place. The parish is ten miles in compass.--The following are the principal inhabitants:
