Rodborough

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rodborough is a parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, in South-West England. It is located directly south of the town of Stroud, north of the town of Nailsworth and north-west of the village of Minchinhampton.

Built on a hill, Rodborough is located near Rodborough Common, a public recreation area popular with golfers. The bulk of the common was donated to the National Trust in 1937 by Thomas Bainbrigge Fletcher (1878–1950), an entomologist.

The parish has two schools, four pubs, a large hotel, a community hall, and is home to the historic Winstones Ice Cream Factory. It has a large and active Christian community who attend St. Mary Magdalene Church (C of E) & Rodborough Tabernacle United Reformed Church, and its various clubs and societies include a football club, a scout group and a mother and toddler network.

Rodborough is served by Rodborough Parish Council, Stroud District Council and Gloucestershire County Council. The local newspaper is the Stroud News & Journal, though the parish council also produces a quarterly newsletter called The Commoner.
