Bishop's Cleeve war memorial in Church Road has recently been renovated. When moved to its present position in 1980, damage was caused to the middle shafts and the repairs have resulted in the memorial being restored to its original appearance. The ashlar memorial was unveiled in 1919. Bishop's Cleeve is a large village in Gloucestershire. It lies at the foot of Cleeve Hill, the highest point of the Cotswolds, some 3½ miles north of Cheltenham. Although Iron Age and Roman remains have been found locally, the earliest known origins of the village date to the 8th Century. A monastery and surrounding land was given to the Bishop of Worcester, and the village became the Bishop’s Cliffe. The village grew rapidly when an aerospace factory was built nearby after the Second World War and continues to grow.
