"SOUTH CERNEY, a parish in the hundred of Crowthorne and Minty, in the county of Gloucester, 4 miles from Cirencester, its post town and railway station. It is situated on the river Thames, near the Severn canal and Great Western railway. The living is a discharged vicarage in the archdeaconry and diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, value £231, in the patronage of the bishop.The church is dedicated to All Saints. In 1834 Mrs. Edwards left a munificent bequest for the relief of the widows and orphans of clergymen in the diocese of Gloucester, and in 1837 the trustees resolved to expend half the bequest in erecting a college or asylum for the pensioners. Land was given at South Corney for the purpose; and the building, called Edwards' College, has a chaste and beautiful appearance."
