Moreton-in-marsh
Moreton-in-Marsh (populace 3,493) is a small market community in the Evenlode Valley, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England. The community stands at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (currently the A429) and also the A44. It is served by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line. It is reasonably level and low-lying compared with the bordering Cotswold Hills. The River Evenlode climbs near Batsford, runs around the edge of Moreton and meanders towards Oxford, where it moves right into the Thames simply east of Eynsham. Simply over 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) east of Moreton, the Four shire stone marked the boundary of the historical regions of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire as well as Oxfordshire, up until the re-organisation of the area borders in 1931. Since then it notes the meeting point of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire as well as Oxfordshire. Moreton is stemmed from Old English which implies "Farmstead on the Moor" and "in Marsh" is from henne and also mersh implying a marsh utilized by birds such as moorhens. An alternative recommendation is that 'Marsh' is a corruption of 'March', early English for limit.
