1839 Robsons Directory - Thornbury Roots 2

Thornbury, together with chapelries of Falfield, Oldbury upon Severn and Rangeworthy, and the tythings of Kington and Morton contains 3760 inhabitants.

The Corporation, now merely nominal, consists of a Mayor and 12 Aldermen, with a serjeant at mace and two constables. A manorial court leet is held annually, and occasionally a court baron; also a manor court for the surrender of admissions to copyhold. A court for the recovery of debts under 40s for the hundred is held once in three weeks on Thursday; and a court of record for the pleas to any amount for the honour of Gloucester is also held every weeks on Tuesday.

There are places of worship in the parish, apart from the church, situated for the use of the Baptists, the Society of Friends, Independents and Wesleyan Methodists. A Free Grammar School was founded and endowed in 1648 by William Edwards, its funds having been augmented by subsequent benefactors. Here are six alms-houses for fifteen poor people, founded by Sir John Stafford in the reign of James I.
