Background
History
Churchdown has several interesting old structures including the Old School House on The Green, where the first village school was held, Ye Old House on Sandfield Road (thought to have been built in the 16th century), Dunstan Cottage in Chapel Hay Lane and The Cottage on Oldbury Orchard. On The Green stands a house where Beatrix Potter stayed, when she visited Gloucester in 1901, hence her famous story The Tailor of Gloucester.
