CORSHAM is a small market town to the north of Wiltshire on the southwestern edge of the Cotswolds. The attractive town has many buildings built from the local Cotswold stone and is famous for its fine architecture. The town has a population of 4750 people.
Corsham inspired Charles Dickens to write The Pickwick Papers, and create the character Moses Pickwick. Pickwick, once an adjoining hamlet, gave its name to Moses Pickwick an abandoned baby, this name later being seen on a carrier's cart by Charles Dickens who used it for his Pickwick Papers.
