Whittington, Gloucestershire is a village and rural parish in the county of Gloucestershire in England, United Kingdom.[1] It is situated some 4 miles south east of Cheltenham, just off the main A40 road. The Cotswold Hills' high point, Cleeve Hill, rises above the village.
The village was mentioned in Domesday. The church is early Norman architecture in origin. It is the site of Roman settlements notably at a field called Wycomb (formerly Wickham).[1]
Whittington Court is the former manor house. It was built for Richard Cotton (died 1556) and is a Grade I listed building.
The parish church is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and dates in part from the 12th century; it was largely restored in 1872.
