Welcome To Cherington

Cherington is a wee little village about four miles North East of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, in the South Cotswolds. Winner of several Best Kept Village awards, Cherington is much loved by those who live there today, many with roots in the village that span generations, and those who have since moved further afield.

Elizabeth Workman and Beryl Milsom: Cherington - A Century of Change in a Cotswold Village
The annual Flower and Vegetable Show was perhaps an appropriate occasion to launch this book. It is the time the inhabitants, new and old, get together and has been held in the gardens of the Old Rectory for many years. This house together with the church, school and Cherington Park have been important and familiar landmarks during the past 100 years. Drawn from the memories of many inhabitants past and present, Elizabeth Workman has given the reader a close-up picture of life in a small, and in the first part of the century, a fairly isolated agricultural community.
