[[File:DursleyMarket.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Dursley Market House]] |
|||
Dursley gained borough status in 1471 and lost it in 1886. From then until 1974 it was the administrative centre of Dursley Rural District (RDC). In 1974 the RDC became part of [[Stroud District]]. |
|||
== Geschichte == |
|||
The Parish Church of St. James the Great dates from the 13th century, but the modern building is largely of 14th and 15th century construction. The original church spire collapsed in January 1699 during a bell-ringing session, causing casualties. The current bell tower, in an imposing 'Gothic Survival' style was built by Thomas Sumsion of Colerne in the years 1708-09. |
|||
Das Gebiet von Dursley ist seit der [[Jungsteinzeit]] besiedelt. In [[Uley Bury]] im nahegelegenen Dorf [[Uley]] existieren Überreste eines [[Eisenzeit|eisenzeitlichen]] Forts, das auf ca. 300 v. Chr. datiert. Römische Ruinen finden sich in den Nachbarorten [[Frocester]], [[Woodchester]] und Calcot Manor. Die Ruinen eines römischen Badehauses wurden ebenfalls in Cam, in der Nähe des Bahnhofs, gefunden. |
|||
The pillared market house, complete with statue of Queen Anne and bell turret, dates from 1738, when the town's markets attracted farmers and traders from miles around.<ref name="Dursley Location Information">[http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/john.wilkes/dursley.htm#preface Dursley Location Information<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

1153 errichtete [[Roger de Berkley]] in Dursley eine Burg, die allerdings nicht erhalten ist. Die Kirche ''St. James the Great'' stammt ursprünglich aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, das heute zu sehende Gebäude wurde allerdings vorwiegend im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert erstellt. Der ursprüngliche Kirchturm kollabierte im Januar 1699 beim Glockenläuten, was einige Tote zur Folge hatte. Der heutige Turm stammt aus dem Jahr 1709 und wurde von [[Thomas Sumsion]] erbaut. |
|||
In 1856 a short [[Dursley and Midland Junction Railway|branch line railway]] opened,<ref>[http://cotswoldedge.org.uk/dursley/Dursley_Donkey.htm citing from Branch lines of Gloucestershire] ISBN 0862999596</ref> linking Dursley and Cam to the [[Bristol]] - [[Gloucester]] main line at [[Coaley]] Junction. The branch line was closed in 1968. Coaley Junction station was also closed at about this time. However, in 1994 a new railway station called [[Cam and Dursley railway station|Cam and Dursley]] was opened on the main line near the site of Coaley Junction. |

Ancient historical sites in the vicinity give evidence of earlier occupation. [[Uley Bury]], in nearby [[Uley]], is an Iron Age hill fort dating from around 300BC, and the village also has neolithic long barrows, which are evident further afield at Selsley Common and [[Nympsfield]] to the north. Notable Roman remains exist at [[Frocester]], West Hill near [[Uley]], [[Woodchester]] and Calcot Manor. |
|||
Dursley erlangte 1471 den [[Borough]]-Status, verlor diesen aber 1886 wieder. Von 1886 bis 1974 war es das Zentrum des Wahlbezirks ''Dursley Rural District''. 1974 wurde Dursley in den Wahlbezirk Stroud eingegliedert. |

[[Stinchcombe Hill]] provides a scenic backdrop to much of the town. It has an 18 hole golf course, said to be a favourite of the actor [[Hugh Grant]]. The Hill has had a great deal of work carried out by volunteers (SHV, led by John Smallwood), since 1992, in an attempt to restore the open views over the Severn Vale. The cleared areas can be seen from the M5 motorway. The Cotswold Way has now been re-routed around the Hill to take advantage of this work. |
