The Horsham district is one of the most scenically attractive and geologically complex areas of south-east England. This memoir is the first account of the geology of the district, describing the lithologies and structure of the rocks that crop out, and reviewing their sedimentary history - relating it to the deep geological structure that has been revealed by exploration for hydrocarbons. It also examines the geological history of the district back to Carboniferous times, more than 300 million years ago.
The area around Tewkesbury is of great geological diversity, ranging from the Precambrian to the Quaternary age.

Small patches of glacial deposits in the west are relics of an ice sheet which advanced from the north.
