![Former canal roundhouse on the disused Thames & Severn Canal near Marston Meysey. Grade II Listed former canal roundhouse on the disused Thames & Severn Canal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_and_Severn_Canal near Marston Meysey, (see also [[[3336995]]]). The roundhouse http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-317896-round-house-marston-maisey- is one of five famous former lengthsmen’s cottages on the Thames & Severn Canal. It was built circa 1790. Although the listing describes it as being constructed of pebbledashed brick with limestone dressings to doors and windows, a survey for the Cotswold Canals Project says that it was built of rendered rubblestone with ashlar band courses at the upper floor levels. This photograph shows the ‘Gothic’-style windows. http://www.cotswoldcanalsproject.org/_documents/2_HS_241-258_Marston_Meysey_Bridge.pdf It originally had a funnel-shaped lead roof to channel rainwater for use in the cottage. The ground floor was used for stabling, with the upper two for living accommodation. There is a fireplace on the first floor and a staircase to the top floor within the wall thickness. When the canal company no longer needed the building after the lengthsman had been transferred to a new house at Eisey Lock in 1831 (see [[[3321988]]]), the roundhouse became derelict. Out of the picture on the other side of the roundhouse is Marston Meysey bridge, a Grade II Listed accommodation bridge http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-317897-marston-meysey-bridge-marston-maisey- over the disused Thames & Severn Canal (see also [[[3337011]]]). In 1986 an 'extension' was added to the roundhouse. Both bridge and roundhouse are now in the grounds of private property, and the footpath has long since been re-routed around them. http://www.cotswoldcanals.net/rh_mm.php At the time of my visit, the only viable public footpath in the vicinity was this one running south to them from the road and around the north-east of the property. by Vieve Forward – 16 February 2013](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/35/08/3350879_c10dc691_120x120.jpg)

The bridge is built in red brick with stone copings and stone springers for three rings of half-brick arches. As well as including a gatepier, the listing mentions traces of a former lock below the bridge, but Cotswold Canals Trust does not list a lock between Eysey Lock (no.41) and Dudgrove double lock (nos. 42 & 43). http://www.cotswoldcanals.com/pages/locks-bridges-structures/bridges-and-buildings.php A picture of the bridge showing what might be construed as the remains of a lock can be seen at http://www.cotswoldcanalsproject.org/_documents/2_HS_241-258_Marston_Meysey_Bridge.pdfIn 1986 an 'extension' was added to the roundhouse.

![Public footpath to Marston Meysey Roundhouse. The public footpath to Marston Meysey Roundhouse (see [[[3336995]]]) leads, not down the drive, but through the farmyard, as the notice on the drive gate makes clear. It rejoins the drive at a stile fifty metres further down. The entrance to the footpath is not marked on the gate to the farmyard, and access is gained by slipping through an unmarked gap in the fence to the side. by Vieve Forward – 16 February 2013](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/35/08/3350864_a83c49d2_120x120.jpg)
![Route of public footpath east of Marston Meysey Roundhouse. Land to the east of Marston Meysey Roundhouse [[[3336995]]] and bridge [[[3337011]]] is now used for gravel extraction. The public footpath is supposed to run directly ahead from where the photographer was standing, but has been entirely gouged out by gravel extraction vehicles, and now may not be safe to use, particularly on a weekday when work is going on. The Thames & Severn Canal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_and_Severn_Canal http://www.cotswoldcanals.com/ would formerly have run directly ahead from about ten metres to the left of the photographer. by Vieve Forward – 16 February 2013](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/35/08/3350875_061d36df_120x120.jpg)
