DIXON, or DICKLESTON, a hamlet in the parish
of ALDERTON, upper division of the hundred of
TEWKESBURY, county of GLOUCESTER, 4 miles (W.N.W.)
from Winchcombe. The population is returned with
the parish. This place in the reign of Edward III. was
the seat of the Dicklestons; near the mansion was
formerly a chapel, dedicated to All Saints, but it has
been long since desecrated. Vestiges of an ancient intrenchment
are discernible in the neighbourhood.
