From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Material to add:
- Stats
- Map(s)
- History of the parish of Elmstone-Hardwicke
- Info on the church, impressive for a village of this size
- No pubs or shops (unless the Old Spot is officially in E-H?)
- The old school, now a Slavic church - children attend mostly Tredington Primary School and Cleeve Comprehensive ('Cleeve School')
- Notable local farms & farming families
- the Furzens; Dog Bark Lane; River Swilgate; Smithy's scrapyard; the conker tree by Westerns
- The M5 motorway passes through the village and split some farms in half. Kilbys had a bridge built just for their cattle and tractors by the Ministry, the public road through Colmans Farm is now a dead end.
- The extent of the parish(quite large in terms of area) - Elmstone-Hardwicke church area, the hamlet of Hardwicke (with the tiny village green), through to the travellers site near the A38.
- Naming confusion - before postcode databases we would regularly receive mail marked 'Hardwicke' (Stroud)
- Pleasant rural area but somewhat the rubbish dump of Glos. too - flytipping, crematorium, motorway, rubbish dumps, Cursey Lane -- kingboyk 22nd/23rd September 2005
