Bristol
Gloucestershire
Cathedral city, seaport, and parliamentary borough in Gloucestershire 118 miles from London.
Newnham
Newnham stands on an eminence rising from the western bank of the Severn, which is here nearly a mile across at high water. In the Norman times, it appears to have been a fortified town, designed to repress the incursions of the Welsh. The houses are principally ranged in one long street, and the church stands on a cliff, near the river.
