In the centre of this ever expanding village opposite Cleeve Hall.

This fairly modern looking building probably started out as an estate pub in this large village, which has a small number of pubs in relation to its population figure. Today it is both a pub and a Cantonese restaurant. To the right of the pub is a car park and behind that a parade of shops. Image Image

As seen from the adjacent car park. Image Image

The sign is very badly faded but there is still enough detail to see that the pub is named after a sailing ship, not a bird. What connection, if any, there is with Bishop's Cleeve is unknown. On the other side, the image of the ship has faded to invisibility. Image Image

The tithe barn at Bishop's Cleeve is now used as a village hall.

A large Tesco, branded a "superstore". The address is Church Walk but it is actually behind the south side of that road, accessed from a service road.

This former tithe barn in Cheltenham Road is now used as the village hall. Probably built in the early 15th century as the tithe barn for the Bishop of Worcester at Cleeve Hall. Partly destroyed by fire in the late 19th century, the barn was altered and restored and reopened as a village hall in 1956. Recently an extension has provided a lift, two new meeting rooms, a new kitchen and other facilities. Constructed of squared, coursed limestone with a stone slate roof. There is a history of the barn at: https://www.cleevetithebarn.org.uk/History Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1340152 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.
