Two-Mile-Hill

TWO-MILE-HILL, an ecclesiastical district or parish, in the parish of St. George, union of Clifton, hundred of Barton Regis, W. division of the county of Gloucester, 2½ miles (E.) from Bristol. The district was constituted in August 1845, under the act 6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 37. It is situated on the river Avon, and lies along both sides of the high roads from Bristol to Bath and Marshfield, its circumference being about three miles. The land is chiefly set out in freeholds of an acre or more, and appropriated to market gardening; a portion is in small grazing-farms. Coalmines are wrought; and there is a pin-factory. The church, an edifice in the early English style, with a tower, has just been erected, at a cost of £2200: the living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Crown and the Bishop of Bristol and Gloucester, alternately; net income, £150. There is a place of worship for Wesleyans, and another for Primitive Methodists.
