Matson, Gloucester
Matson is a suburb in the City of Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England.
== History ==
Unlike neighbouring villages, such as Brookthorpe and Upton St Leonards, Matson is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. It appears to have been a part of Kings Barton at the time of the survey. The origins of the name are unclear but early versions recorded include ''Matesknolle'', ''Mattesdune'' and ''Matesden''〔(Rudge, Thomas: ''The History of the County of Gloucester'' ), page 171. 1803〕 and it is likely that the names refer to Robinswood Hill,〔 a large hill which lay entirely within the ancient parish of Matson and on the flanks of which the village lies.
It has been suggested that iron ore was mined from Robinswood Hill in Saxon times〔 although there is little evidence for this. A spring called the Red Well rising just above Matson is ferruginous in nature.
Matson House, a large manorial house, was the headquarters of King Charles during the Siege of Gloucester.〔( 16th Century Gloucester )〕 It subsequently became the property of Major General William Selwyn in 1679.
