Talk:Marshfield, Gloucestershire

message: The title is wrong, can some person please change it to Marshfield (South Gloucestershire). 
In explanation, if a place is in South Gloucestershire that does not mean that the place is in the south of Gloucestershire! Confusing!!
This arises because, thanks to a remarkably silly piece of naming, South Gloucestershire is an entirely separate local government area to Gloucestershire and is not governed in any way from the Gloucestershire County Coucil HQ in Gloucester. It merely shares a similar name. In other words, when driving away from Marshfield, you will soon see a sign on the road saying Gloucestershire! In other words, Marshfield cannot be (and is not) in Gloucestershire. 
Fnally, have a look at a county map of England where Glos and South Glos are clearly different places.
If this process of labelling places in South Gloucestershire as being in Gloucestershire continues, then Wikipedia is going to look an amateur piece of work for those who live in the area, and will tell a lie to those who don't - Adrian Pingstone 09:31, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi
Can someone add some information about the pre-historic side of Marshfied? At least mentioning the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age sites that have been located through field walking as well as excavation. The area is littered with activity right through to the Romano-British period, it's only Saxon evidence which is scarce.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Microluv (talk • contribs) 14:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The references to King William are odd, as I saw the Mummers perform during the war (maybe 1942), and I definitely remember the story as involving St. George killing a Saracen, who is then revived by the doctor.  Can someone clarify this? Jpaulm (talk) 15:48, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
