BOXWELL, (Gloucestershire) 3 m. E. from Wotton-under-Edge, in the great road from Glocester to Bath, is a p. 7 m. in
compass, which takes its name from a box-wood, and a well, or spring in it, which runs into the Avon. The manor was held
by St. Peter's-abby in Glocestershire from the R. of William I. to Henry VIII. Sir Walter Raleigh had part of it after the
ref. but it has been for these last hundred years almost in the family of the Huntleys, originally of Monmouthshire.
