The Macmillan Way passes through the village. According to http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol11/pp166-168#fnn67 “The drinking-fountain on the village green was provided by Elizabeth Mary George in 1875 when Cherington Park and Westrip Farm were supplied with water pumped from a spring in Cherington Bottom. The scheme was designed and installed by John H. Taunton and the equipment supplied by George Waller & Co. of the Phoenix ironworks, Stroud.”
