HONEYBOURNE (COW), a parish in the upper
division of the hundred of KIFTSGATE, county of GLOUCESTER,
4 miles (N. W.) from Chipping-Campden, containing
333 inhabitants. The living was annexed to the
perpetual curacy of Church-Honeybourne at the dissolution.
The church, long in ruins, has been converted into
houses for the poor, but the tower is still entire. A free
school was established by subscription in 1806, when a
School-room was erected, with a residence for the master,
whose salary, amounting to £23 per annum, arises
from the interest of certain stock purchased with the
overplus, and the liberal contribution of Cotterill Corbet,
Esq.
