Evenlode is a village and civil parish (ONS Code 23UC051) in the Cotswold District of eastern Gloucestershire in England.[2] Evenlode is bordered by the Gloucestershire parishes of Moreton-in-Marsh to the northwest, Longborough and Donnington to the west, Broadwell to the southwest, and Adlestrop to the southeast;[3] and by the Oxfordshire parish of Chastleton to the east.[4] At Evenlode's northern tip is the Four shire stone, whose name reflects the parish's status as part of Worcestershire until 1931; here at a point between Moreton-in-Marsh and Chastleton are the Warwickshire parishes of Little Compton and Great Wolford,[5] as well as Batsford in Gloucestershire.[3] At its southern tip, between Broadwell and Adlestrop, Evenlode meets the parish of Oddington at a point.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]
The parish was granted before the 10th century to Worcester Priory, latterly as part of the manor of Blockley; the priory's scattered lands formed many of the detached parts of the County of Worcester. The Church of St Edward King & Martyr in Evenlode is a Grade II* Listed Building built in the 12th century and restored in 1879.[6] It is a Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Gloucester, with an average attendance of 20 at Sunday service in 2015.[7]
Until 1931 it was a detached part of Worcestershire, in the hundred of Oswaldslow, southeast of the main body of the county.[8] The River Evenlode, which shares its name, forms the parish's western boundary.
