Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshfield,_Gloucestershire

"Marshfield is a town Gloucestershire, adjacent to the borders with Wiltshire and Somerset. Its name is from the Old English language word "mearc" meaning a border, rather than "marsh" in the sense of bog. It forms a detached part of Thornbury Hundred.

Marshfield is in the south of the county, at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills, eight miles north of Bath, fifteen miles east of Bristol and twenty-eight miles south of Gloucester. The A420 road bypasses the town on its northern side.

To the north of Marshfield is a long stretch of flat-looking fields bordered by dry-stone walls. To the south, the view and the country is quite different, for one is quickly into the wooded valleys and hedge-lined fields of northern Somerset.

High Street is the single main thoroughfare of Marshfield and is approximately 400 yards long and straight. The eastern part of the town contains the parish church, Manor House and Home Farm, a group of historic buildings noted for their architectural features."
