"STOWELL, a parish in the hundred of Bradley, county Gloucester, 2 miles S.W. of Northleach, its post town, and 9 E. from Cirencester. The village is on the river Coln and the ancient Fosse Way. The manor came from the Wentworths and Chedworths to Lord Stowell, to whom it gave title of baron. The soil consists of stone brash. The living is a rectory annexed to that of Hampnett, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, has but one transept left. The representatives of Lord Eldon are lords of the manor and principal landowners."
