Tetbury (St. Mary), a market-town and parish, and the head of a union, in the hundred of Longtree, E. division of the county of Gloucester, 20 miles (S. by E.) from Gloucester, and 99 (W. by N.) from London; containing 2982 inhabitants.
The town is pleasantly situated on an eminence at the southern verge of the county, bordering on Wiltshire, and near the source of the river Avon, over which is a long bridge or causeway, leading into the main road to Malmesbury; it consists principally of a long street, crossed at right angles by two shorter ones, with a spacious market-house near one of the intersections.
An act was obtained, in 1817, for paving and lighting the town, the expense of which was defrayed out of funds in the hands of trustees appointed in 1814, under an act for inclosing waste grounds ; and £1000 were also appropriated from the same source for the repair of the market-house.
The poor are chiefly employed by woolstaplers, and the market was formerly noted for the sale of woollen-yarn, but the introduction of machinery has put an end to the trade.
The market is on Wednesday ; and fairs are held on Ash-Wednesday, July 22nd, and November 10th, for corn, cheese, horses, and cattle. A bailiff and a constable are elected annually at the court leet of the feoffees of the manor; and petty-sessions for the town and hundred take place here, and at Horseley and Rodborough, Gloucestershire, alternately. The parish comprises 4384a. 1r. 7p.
The LIVING is a vicarage, valued in the king’s books at £36. 13. 4.; patrons, Trustees of Tetbury charity; appropriators, the Dean and Canons of Christ-Church, Oxford. The great tithes have been commuted for £240, and the vicarial for £800; there is a parsonage-house, and the glebe contains about 50 acres. The church, having been undermined by a flood in 1770, was, with the exception of the tower, which is surmounted by a fine modern spire, rebuilt in 1781, in the early English style, at an expense of £6000.
There are places of worship for Baptists, Independents, and Wesleyans. A grammar school was endowed by Sir William Romney, a native of Tetbury, and an alderman and sheriff of London in the reign of James I., who bequeathed a lease for years of the weights of wool and yarn, tolls, and other profits within the town, with the proceeds of which lands have been purchased. A school is partly supported by an endowment of £30 per annum, bequeathed by Elizabeth Hodges, in 1723, and partly by subscription; and there is a national school.
In Maudlin meadow, which belongs to Magdalen College, Oxford, and is situated north of the town, is a petrifying spring, impregnated with calcareous earth. A castle is said to have been built here long before the invasion of Britain by the Romans ; and ancient British coins and fragments of weapons have been found within the area of a camp in the vicinity, of which all traces are now obliterated.

Tetbury Universal British Directory 1791
Is a considerable town, on the borders of Wiltshire, containing nearly five hundred houses, mostly well built with stone. It is a populous town, in a healthy air, and on a rising ground, so that water is scarce in some dry summers. In its market, which is on Wednesday, the chief article is yarn, which is sold in a large market-house in the middle of town; whereas cheese, bacon, and other commodities, are sold in great quantities at a smaller market-house. Its parish is ten miles in compass. The Avon rises in it, which runs though Bath and Bristol into the Severn; and at the end of the town is a high long bridge, half of it in Wilts. Here was a large handsome church, which was totally destroyed by being undermined by a flood, when the roof fell in, and destroyed the pulpit, desk, organ, pews, &c. November 17, 1770.
It was rebuilt and opened for service, October 7 1781, and cost rebuilding 3,658l 16s besides 1000l 17s for the pews and flooring. It has a manufactory of woollen cloth, a free-school, and an alms-house for eight poor people. – Here was once a castle, said to have been built, above two thousand years ago, by a king of the Britons. Several Roman coins have been found in and near the town. The public revenues are managed by a bailiff chosen every year. Here are fairs on Ash-Wednesday and July 22. – North of the town is a petrifying spring, which incrusts pieces of wood, and other things, with a strong stony substance. The annual races are run upon a large common, about one mile eastward of the town, and are much frequented by the neighbouring gentry. – The direct road from Bath and Bristol, to Cirencester, &c. passes through this town; as also does the road from Gloucester, Stroud, &c. to Bath, Devizes, Salisbury, and Southampton, which renders it a very great thoroughfare.
Tetbury is distant from Gloucester twenty miles, Cirencester ten, Dursley ten, Wotton ten, Sodbury fourteen, Devizes twenty-four, Bristol twenty-five and Bath twenty-three.
Post in and out daily: Edward Schollar, post-master. – The principal inns are, the White Hart, Three Cups, Ormond’s Head, George, and Bull.
Coaches to London and Gloucester, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; and to Bath, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
A wagon goes weekly to Salisbury, daily to Bristol, every Tuesday to Bath, and almost daily to Gloucester. – The following are the principal inhabitants:
