  • Little Sodbury Draft Version 1
    VCH Gloucestershire 14, Little Sodbury Draft Version 1 Little Sodbury Little Sodbury is a small rural parish which lies 36 km. (22 miles) south of Gloucester and 19 km. (12 miles) north-east of Bristol. As with its larger neighbour to the south, the landscape is heavily defined by the Cotswold Edge, which runs from north to south through the centre of the parish. The eastern half of the parish, lying above the escarpment, comprises rich arable land, in contrast with the low-lying pastoral landscape of the western half of the parish. The prehistoric hill fort which gives the Sodburys their name lies across the parish boundary with Old Sodbury, overlooking the substantial medieval manor house further down the escarpment. The ancient route called the Port Way, which follows the line of the Cotswold Edge, has carried traffic across the parish since prehistoric times. Despite its proximity to Chipping Sodbury and Yate, which have greatly expanded in the late 20th century, Little Sodbury remains entirely rural in character. Landscape, Settlement and Buildings Boundaries The ancient parish of Little Sodbury was estimated by Rudge to measure 900 a. in 1803,1 but the tithe commissioners found that the parish comprised 1,074 a. in 1839.2 In 1903 the parish was found to measure 1,093 a.3 The parish boundaries were depicted on the tithe award map of 1839,4 and by the Ordnance Survey in 1886.5 For much of their length the boundaries are defined by long established hedges that once separated the open fields and commons of the neighbouring parishes.
