NEWENT<\/span><\/strong> is an extensive parish, and small market town, head of a union and county court district, and polling place for the Western division of the county, 111 miles from London, 9 north-west from Gloucester and about the same distance east from Ross, 8 south from Ledbury, and 5 north-east from Micheldean Road station, on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester railway, situate near the confines of the counties of Hereford and Worcester, and is intersected by the turnpike road leading from Gloucester to Hereford and Worcester; it is in the Botloe hundred, rural deanery of North Forest, archdeaconry of Gloucester, and diocese of Gloucester and Bristol.  The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire canal passes through the parish, and there is a wharf at the north end of the town.  The Ell, a rivulet, runs through the north part of this parish, and drives several mills before its confluence with the Leadon. This town consists chiefly of two main streets, containing many well-built houses and some good shops.  Newent appears to have been formerly a place of considerable importance, having been a borough town, governed by a bailiff; by Leland and others the name is said to signify New Inn, being, when the communication was first opened by this way into Wales, a single house.  There is no railway at present, but the Great Western Railway Company have obtained an Act for making a line from Gloucester, through Newent to Ledbury and Ross. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The parish church of the Virgin Mary is a handsome structure.  This venerable pile was erected about the year 1590, and designed by Thomas Taylor, architect: the roof of the nave is supported entirely by screws, there being no pillars, and must have been the work of several periods: it has chancel, nave and tower surmounted by a spire, 153 feet in height, containing a peal of 6 bells: the top of the spire was blown down in 1662, and the whole roof of the nave fell in, after divine service had been concluded on Sunday, 18th<\/sup> January, 1673: the church was thoroughly repaired and much altered in 1679: there is a monument of great antiquity, supposed to have been erected to the Foley family.  The register dates from the year 1673.  The living is a rectory, the tithes commuted at \u00a31,542 with residence and one acre of land, in the patronage of St. Catharine\u2019s College, Cambridge, and held by the Rev. Peter Almeric Lebeup Wood, M.A. of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and Canon of Middleham. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are Wesleyan, Congregational and Baptist chapels. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Cemetery is about half a mile to the west:  it s about two acres in extent, and contains two handsome mortuary chapels of stone, also lodge-keepers house.  Here are almshouses for six poor men and the same number for females. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are charities producing \u00a357, distributed to the poor. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Market House, conspicuously situated in the centre of the town, is an interesting example of Elizabethan timber work of the sixteenth century,  specimens of which are now comparatively rare:  it was in a very dilapidated condition, but was thoroughly restored by the liberality of the lord of the manor, Richard Foley Onslow, J.P. whose arms, and those of Mrs Onslow, in stained glass, decorate one of the windows. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Markets were formerly held on Fridays; but a market for stock is now only held on the first Tuesday in each month, and the fairs on the Wednesdays before Easter and Whit Sundays and August 12th<\/sup>, with statute fairs on the Friday after the 18th<\/sup> September and two succeeding Fridays. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Newent has always been in great repute for the production of cider and perry.  There are several malting and flour mills in the neighbourhood; a tannery and some fellmongering, and glove making; bricks and drain pipes are made.  The town has two old established commercial inns \u2013 the \u2018George\u2019 and the \u2018Red Lion\u2019, both have assembly rooms for concerts and meetings.  There are several mineral springs in the vicinity of this parish, possessing properties similar to the Cheltenham and Gloucester waters; the principal spring lies a short distance from the town, and is surrounded by some splendid scenery: on the south-west is situate Yartleton Hill, now called May Hill, on account of the festive games celebrated thee on May-day; the summit is planted with fir trees; from it a very commanding prospect is to be obtained.  There are several old quarries from which fossils are obtained. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Court, the seat of Andrew Knowles, esq. M.F.H. is in this parish; it is a handsome residence, with colonnade portico front, situate on an eminence near the church, in park like grounds, finely timbered and with a beautiful lake.  The Holts, the property and residence of Edmund Edmonds, esq. is also situated here.  The Court House, the property and residence of Charles James Cooke, esq. is a handsome mansion in pleasant grounds near to the church.  Stardens, the property of Tichard Foley Onslow, esq. D.L. is a handsome modern stone mansion, about a quarter of a mile to the north; it is situated in park-like grounds. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Richard Foiley Onslow, esq. who is the lord of the manor and W.J. Phelps, esq. of Dursley, the Charity Commissioners and Andrew Knowles, esq. are the chief landowners.  The soil in general is a light sand, inclining to red, better adapted for arable than pasture, of which however, there is some of a superior quality, as well as excellent orcharding;  the subsoil consists of coal, ironstone, red sandstone, sand and clay.  The chief crops are wheat, barley and turnips, and fruit is largely grown. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The area of the entire parish is 7,803 acres; rateable value \u00a315,890; the population in 1871 was, parish 3,168; town or liberty 1,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BOULSDON gave name to a family who held it from 1475 for several generations: it belonged to the Porter family in 1558, from whom it passed by purchase to Mr. J. Noarse Morse (at the beginning of the present century), who, in 1803 was lord of the manor, also a considerable landowner.  AT this place there was formerly two coal pits, sunk at the expense of several subscribers: the depth of the coal was 41 yards; the stratum between four and five feet; those collieries are now worked out, but vestiges still remain to prove the fact that coal was once wrought in the part of the parish.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CONEYGORE, or Conigre, 1 mile west was a Roman settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BOULSDON and Kilcot tithing, 2 miles south-west, had a population in 1871 of 850;  Compton tithing, 2 miles north, 600; Cugley tithing, 1 mile ease, 350; and Malswick tithing, 1 mile south, 240.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GORSLEY with Clifford;s Mesne, in the parish of Newent, forms an ecclesiastical district.  Gorsley school church was opened August 14th<\/sup>1872, and the chancel was added in 1877:  it is a Gothic building, consisting of small chancel and nave: there are sittings for 300: a residence for the clergyman was built in 1876. Clifford\u2019s Mesne school church is a stone building of simple architecture, and was opened in September 1863, and has sittings for 80 people:  the living is a perpetual curacy, gross yearly value \u00a3207, in the gift of the rector of Newent, two turns, and the vicar of Linton, one turn and held by the Rev. Edward Henry Sankey,B.A. OF Oriel College, Oxford.<\/span><\/p>\n
