Minchinhampton, Market town in Stroud District, Gloucestershire, England
Minchinhampton sits on a hilltop 4 miles southeast of Stroud, offering views over the Severn Estuary into Wales and across the Cotswolds landscape.
The settlement, first recorded as Hantone in the 1086 Domesday Book, belonged to a nunnery in Caen, Normandy, leading to its name meaning high town of nuns.
The town center features a 17th-century Market House where monthly markets occur, along with twice-yearly craft fairs and the Minchinhampton Country Fayre.
The town provides residents with essential services including Henry's Dairy, a post office, a pharmacy, coffee shops, and multiple sporting facilities.
The remains of one of the oldest known tyrannosaurs, Proceratosaurus bradleyi, were discovered at Minchinhampton reservoir and now reside in London's Natural History Museum.
