[Description(s) from The National Gazetteer (1868)]
"MANGOTSFIELD, a parish in the hundred of Barton Regis, county Gloucester, 5 miles N. of Bristol, its post town. It is a station on the Bristol and Birmingham section of the Midland railway. The parish borders on the coal district of Kingsland, and-includes Staple Hill and Downend. Here were the ruins of a nunnery in Leland's time. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in agriculture, and in the collieries and stone quarries. The land is nearly evenly divided between arable and pasture. The living is a perpetual curacy with the curacy of Downend annexed, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, joint value £195. The church, dedicated to St. James, is a neat structure, partly rebuilt in 1850. There is a chapel-of-ease at Downend, dedicated to Our Saviour. It is a modern edifice, built in 1831. There are National and infant schools. The Wesleyans, Independents, and Baptists, have each a chapel."
