Its highest point is Shenberrow Hill on the escarpment in the southeast of the parish, 994 feet (303 m) above sea level. The low-lying northwestern part of the parish is bounded mostly by two streams, which converge and then join the River Isbourne about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) outside the parish. A report in 1712 indicated that the village consisted of 60 houses and 300 inhabitants, including 29 freeholders.Much of the area of the village was owned by the Stott family from 1906 to 1949.

Childswickham is a village in Worcestershire, England, situated within the flat open landscape of the Vale of Evesham, between the Bredon and Cotswold Hills, two miles from Broadway. It is within the boundaries of the historic county of Gloucestershire. It is an area predominantly of market gardening, arable and pasture land, with surrounding fields defined by hedgerows. Being on the edge of the North Cotswolds it has a mixture of building styles, from Cotswold limestone to red brick, to the more traditional Worcestershire black and white half timber and thatch. The earliest buildings are timber framed with wattle and daub and Cotswold limestone. The name Childswickham is believed to have derived from 'Child', the young son of a nobleman, 'wick', a clearing in the wood and 'ham', short for hamlet. Its history can be traced back to Roman times as coins and pottery of this era were found in fields on the old Roman road from Worcester to London which came through the village. The 15th century spire of the original Norman church, St Mary the Virgin, is a local landmark and can be seen for several miles. Childswickham was a part of Gloucestershire until 1931.

Wormington Grange is a Grade II* listed country house in the civil parish of Stanton, Gloucestershire, England. It lies one mile (1.6 km) south of the village of Wormington. Although the lodge appears to be of Tudor origins it is actually from the Regency period and concurrent with the Regency phase of the estate, the main house was constructed in the 1770s for Nathaniel Jeffreys. It is built of stone with a slate roof. An enlargement occurred in 1826-27 for Josiah Gist by Henry Hakewill. In the 1920s, Sir G. Dawber provided minor alterations for Mrs. Clegg. A. S. G. Butler made other changes in the mid 20th century. The full-height bow windows are attributed to Anthony Keck who was the original architect of outstanding Doric columns reminiscent of the classical Greek Temple on the Ilissus. The later additions by Hakewill included notable pilasters, particularly in a dining-room, built in the new east wing, adjacent to a grand entrance hall with ionic columns.The house was later lived in by General Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay, , who remodelled the north side servants' quarters to Butler's design in 1947. Hakewill's stables nearby were neo-classical after Sir Hans Sloane's inspirational style. The Cleggs completely re-designed the gardens to which wrought iron front gates, designed by Norman Jewson appeared in about 1930. The limestone and Sussex bond brickwork stable block, which has a slate roof, was added 1827. The central store room is of two storeys with single story wings containing the horse boxes. Workshops in the stable block were used by John Evetts, the Landmark Trust furnishing manager and the grandson of Hastings Ismay, who lived in the house from the 1970s until its sale, following an auction of contents, about 2022.

Stanway House is a Jacobean manor house near the village of Stanway in Gloucestershire, England. The manor of Stanway was owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years, then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss and March. Stanway House, originally constructed in the late 16th and early 17th century for the Tracy family, is a Grade I listed building. The principal rooms are in a long south-facing range forming an L-shape with the hall, unlike the usual Tudor house plan of a central hall. The north-east wing, remodelled in 1913 by Detmar Blow, was demolished in 1948. The kitchen court was designed by William Burn in 1859. The Gatehouse was built in about 1630. The construction includes Guiting yellow stone and some Jacobean mullions and gables. Owner James Charteris, then Lord Neidpath, now the 13th Earl of Wemyss and March, has pursued a programme of restoration for a number of years. The house and grounds are open to the public on a limited basis each summer.

Stanway is a small village and civil parish in the county of Gloucestershire, England, and about 1 mile south of Stanton: both villages are on the Cotswold Way. The parish includes the villages of Didbrook, Hailes, Taddington and Wood Stanway. The population of the parish at the 2011 census was 343. It is part of the Tewkesbury Borough Council area. The village is dominated by Stanway House, a Jacobean manor house, owned by the Earl of Wemyss and March, undergoing a long 21st century restoration. The demesne estate has the single highest gravity-fed fountain in the UK at just over 300 feet. It was restored for operation in 2004 and can be seen from nearby hills when it spurts. Taddington to the east has the source of the Windrush. The gate of Stanway House is the finish of the 1st Stage (and start of the 2nd Stage) of the Cotswold Way Relay race. St Peter's Church was rebuilt in the 12th century, the tower added in the 13th century and the whole building thoroughly restored in 1896. The Tithe Barn was built in the 14th century for Tewkesbury Abbey. The bell tower contains a ring of five bells dating from (in order 1-5 wish founders) 2014 (Whitechapel, London) 1625 (Worcester Foundry, possibly James Keene), 1904 (Bond of Burford), 1826 (Rudhall, Gloucester) and 1634 (Unknown founder). They are hung for English Change Ringing and were restored in 2015. The largest (Tenor) bell is a maiden (untuned) bell and is listed for preservation. It weighs just over 11cwt. Stanway war memorial is south of the village against the B4077 road and the southernmost end of the Stanton Road. The bronze of St George and the Dragon is by Alexander Fisher, the stone column and plinth by Sir Philip Stott carved by Eric Gill. The war memorial in the church chancel is also by Fisher and Gill. Stanway has a cricket pitch, a fenced ground, in the middle of a field. The field has an undulating surface, which was reportedly made uneven to make landing difficult for - possibly hypothetical - German gliders during the Second World War. The cricket ground - itself flat - possesses a pavilion, which is built on staddle stones, and was the gift of the author J. M. Barrie who stayed at Stanway House in the 1920s. It is famous lore among the area, that Barrie formed his own “literary cricket team”, promising the club he would help pay for the pavilion if he took a hat-trick. In 1993 the manor house reopened its brewery, one of only two coal-fired brewing houses in the country.

The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWR, GWSR or Gloucs-Warks Steam Railway) is a volunteer-run heritage railway which runs along the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border of the Cotswolds in England. The GWSR has restored and reopened around 14 miles (23 km) of track, operating between Cheltenham Race Course and Broadway. The most recent extension to Broadway (completed in 2018) involved the company raising £1.38 million. The 28-mile return trip on steam and heritage diesel trains follows part of the route of the former Great Western main line from Birmingham to Cheltenham. There is a long-term aim of extending a further 6 miles (9.7 km) from Broadway to the national rail network at Honeybourne.
