A market-town and parish in the upper division of the Hundred of Berkeley, county of Gloucester, fifteen miles S.W. by S. from Gloucester, and 108 W. by N. from London, containing 3186 inhabitants. On the south-east side of the churchyard, springs of water rise so copiously, as, at the distance of one hundred yards, to set in motion a fulling-mill; and on the banks of the stream are several cloth manufactories. This fountain is supposed to have occasioned the town to be called Dursley, from the British dwr, water, and lega, lea or pasture land. The market, held under a charter granted by Edward IV, in 1471, is on thursday; and there are fairs, May 6th and December 4th, for the sale of cattle and pedlery.
