The title is wrong, can some person please change it to Marshfield (South Gloucestershire). In explanation, if a place is in South Gloucestershire that does not mean that the place is in the south of Gloucestershire! Confusing!!
This arises because, thanks to a remarkably silly piece of naming, South Gloucestershire is an entirely separate local government area to Gloucestershire and is not governed in any way from the Gloucestershire County Coucil HQ in Gloucester. It merely shares a similar name. In other words, when driving away from Marshfield, you will soon see a sign on the road saying Gloucestershire! In other words, Marshfield cannot be (and is not) in Gloucestershire.
Fnally, have a look at a county map of England where Glos and South Glos are clearly different places.
If this process of labelling places in South Gloucestershire as being in Gloucestershire continues, then Wikipedia is going to look an amateur piece of work for those who live in the area, and will tell a lie to those who don't - Adrian Pingstone 09:31, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
This issue wastes many person-hours. Marshfield is in the traditional county of Gloucestershire, and shares eg its Lord-Lieutenant and archive facilities with the GCC. Whether this suffices for WP purposes depends (I think) on whether South Glos UA is a district or a county in status. Well, it's a district inside a 'shadow county'...

Can anyone give me some advice on how this page should be cleaned up? I've got loads to put in and want to make a good job of it. Cuzzer1202 13:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
August 2007. There still exists the issue of South Glos and Glous as the correct county for this entry. Marshfield is in South Glos which is nothing to do with the county of Glouscestershire. How do we remove the cleanup tag???? and sort the matter out??? Help 88.111.10.56 22:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Can the editor who provided the image for Marshfield county in south glos have a good look at the image. It seems to suggest that Marshfield is in Gloucestershire and not South Glous. It needs a clear up please. 16/08/07 Cuzzer1202 22:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
