Situated less than a mile south-east of the market town of Stow-on-the-Wold and approximately {{convert|18|mi|km}} east of its post town, Cheltenham, Maugersbury lies within the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. At the 2001 United Kingdom census, the parish had a population of 149.

History

The town is said to have originated as an Iron Age fort on its defensive hill top position. Indeed, there are many similar forts in the area, and Stone Age and Bronze Age burial mounds are also common.[2]

Maugersbury is located less than a mile from Stow-on-the-Wold, which was originally called Edwardstow after the town's patron saint Edward (possibly Edward the Martyr). During Saxon times it is likely that Maugersbury was the primary settlement of the parish, before Stow was built as a marketplace by the Normans in 1107 AD, to be nearer the cross roads.[2] Maugersbury was listed as MalgeresberiAe in the Domesday Book of 1086.[5][6]

The Maugersbury Enclosure Bill was passed in 1766,[3] and later the village was the location of the Stow on the Wold Union Workhouse.[8]

Governance

Maugersbury is in the Beacon-Stow ward of the district of Cotswold, represented by councillors David Penman and Merryl Phillips, members of the Conservative Party.[9][10] Maugersbury is part of the constituency of The Cotswolds, represented at parliament by Conservative MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.[11] It is part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament.
