Maugersbury is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. Situated less than a mile south-east of the market town of Stow-on-the-Wold and approximately 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.〔( British History Online: A History of the County of Gloucester, C. R. Elrington (editor), 1965, Pages 142-165 )〕
Maugersbury is located less than a mile from Stow-on-the-Wold, which was originally called ''Edwardstow'' after the town's patron saint Edward(prossibly 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 1107AD, to be nearer the cross roads.〔 Maugersbury was listed as ''MalgeresberiAe'' in the Domesday Book of 1086.〔〔
The Maugersbury, Enclosure Bill was passed in 1766,〔Journal of the House of Lords volume 31: 1765-1767〕 and latter the village was the location of the Stow on the Wold Union Workhouse.〔
