Kearesley's Traveller's Entertaiing Guide through Great Britain (1801)
Tetbury has a considerable market for corn, cattle, cheese, malt, yarn, wool and provisions. Here was a large handsome church, which was totally destroyed by being undermined by a flood in1770. Here was once a castle. Several Roman-coins have been dug in and near the town. Near it is a petrifying spring, which incrusts pieces of wood with a strong irony substance. Five miles on r. is Kingcote, C. Kingcote, esq. The last place is supposed to have been a Roman station, from many Roman coins ploughed up some years ago, besides a large stature of stone and a
fibula vesiaria of silver, chequered and enamelled.
Inns: White Hart, Three Cups
