Forthampton

Forthampton is a village in Gloucestershire, England in the Cotswolds area. The village is located three miles from the market town of Tewkesbury and features "a great number of interesting buildings", fine views, several duck ponds, a church, a collection of thatched cottages and farmsteads, a village hall and a village club. Forthampton was designated a Conservation Area in 2003 due to its special architectural and historic interest, character and appearance which it was desirable to preserve and enhance.〔Forthampton Conservation Area Character Statement, February 2004.〕 Notable features of the village include extensive historic buildings clustered around farm houses situated at the centre of the village, the many roadside ponds and grass verges around and between buildings and significant panoramic views.
The village forms a wide arc on rising, elevated ground well above the flood-plain of the Severn, from Hill End on the south to Sezincote on the east. Near the crown of the arc is the greatest concentration of houses and the church.〔British History Online, http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol8/pp196-208〕 The centre of the village is approximately 175' above sea level affording fine views over the Severn Valley.
==The Church==
Forthampton is home to the church of St Mary the Virgin, which was grade II listed in 1955.〔http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-134169-church-of-st-mary-the-virgin-forthampton#.VWo8Z11FClY〕 The church is of significant historical interest and forms part of the wider Severnside Benefice, which comprises the Parishes of Chaceley, Forthampton, Deerhurst with Apperley, and Tredington with Stoke Orchard and Hardwicke. The Benefice is set in the Severn Vale, and is part of the Diocese of Gloucester.
The church consists of a nave, chancel, north aisle, west tower, and south porch. The tower is 13th-century with massive diagonal west buttresses and a stair-vice on the north-east corner. The tower has three stages and a plain parapet. The font is a memorial to Susan Plumtre who died in 1849. It is elaborately fashioned in stone and marble. There is stained glass in the church - in the west window of the north aisle - by Clayton & Bell, 1862. The chancel was restored in 1864-66 by William Burges, who also added the reredos, the altar rails, and some stained glass.
In the churchyard, there is a whipping post and stocks, west of the church. The post has manacles and stocks for three which have survived from 1787. At the bottom of the hill is the Pound Pond, which is believed to have been the ducking pool for scolding wives.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-384000-231000/page/4〕
Forthampton was originally owned by the Church, hence such street names as 'Bishop's Walk' and 'Church Lane'. The abbots of Tewkesbury used Forthampton Court as a residence from the mid twelfth to mid sixteenth centuries.〔Forthampton Conservation Area Statement〕
